I purchased a new Distributor Cap a couple weeks ago to replace my 50+ year=
 old Lucas. =C2=A0When I put it on, the car really misses.=C2=A0I checked t=
he continuity from the cap posts to spark plug connections=E2=80=A6=E2=80=
=A6all good. =C2=A0=C2=A0But, when I checked the coil button in the cap to =
the coil lead =E2=80=A6=E2=80=A6 I do not have continuity.The old cap has c=
ontinuity to the coil.Am I missing something? =C2=A0Should the small spring=
 under the center coil button be in contact with the screw?
Thanks,
