[QUOTE="Pappy, post: 495835, member: 3278"] [B]First off. When you do get the engine running keep in mind that is still a 24:1 engine, not 50:1. How were you checking spark? With a plug laying on the block? Chances are the old coils are cracked, leaking to ground and will need to be replaced. Keep the points. Replace the condensers with new as well. When replacing parts always get OEM replacements. Too many fit issues with off brand parts. Coil spacing is critical so make sure they go in flush with the mount posts. Lightly dress the points surfaces with super fine sandpaper and clean completely. when adjusting make sure they are at .020 and the points arm does not move to allow the feeler gauge in for the adjustment check.
