[JAGNUTS] Thanksgiving puzzle

The year of your car probably does not have any electronic components,
but if it does check them out.  Even if you think there are none check
the Owner's manual.  My 82 Alfa had a similar problem which was traced
back to the on board 'brain'.  It took a few hours to trace the
electrical problem - a broken circuit.
This is only my suggestion.

I would appreciate your help in diagnosing the following problem. There
could be prizes!

the 73 MGB GT ran fine one evening. The next day, it turned over fine,
fired a few times but would not run. There is ample fuel, a coil swap
made no difference, there is good spark on the coil wire going to the
dizzy, but there does not seem to be a spark when grounding  any of the
sparkplug lead ends. The points and condenser were replace a few months
ago, and the points are properly gapped. When the ignition is on, there
is only a slight spark/arc when manually opening/closing the points. I
don't have a spare condenser, so I haven't test-swapped it.

any suggestions?

thanks
andrew
