[QUOTE="riverbronzeback, post: 50741, member: 688"] I HAVE SPARK!!!!!! I put the condensers from other motor on and still had no spark on top cylinder. Then i switched coils from one cylinder to the other and still same result. Then i flipped condensers from one cylinder to the other and at the same time took another look at the points on that cylinder. Readjusted the gap and cleaned points. Put back together and have real good spark that i can actually see with lights on in garage. Was 1am when i fineshed so i have to wait till after work to try so start. So coils were good all along and really dont look very old. I know condensers were good cause came off running motor. So this means problem was in the points all along. Think it will start now? Again, thanks for the help. / [/QUOTE]
