[JAGNUTS] Thanksgiving puzzle

[Grand Coulee]

I would check the rotor first ,then the condenser
if no cure make sure all the insulator washers are
on the points and in good condition.If no problem is
found on these items I would next check the cap ,then
the voltage at the coil (does it have an internal resistor).
If still no cure I would check the static timing and the fuel
delivery system.

> 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.
