Having a little problem here. I can't get any spark at all from the coil. Replaced coil, solenoid switch, ignition switch, and voltage regulator. It has 12 volts on battery side & 12 volts on dist side of coil. What the heck am I overlooking! 8-)

inoperative breakers or ignition module.

Thanks for the quick reply, c8oe. "Breakers" meaning points? Sorry, I'm so obtuse, but this is my 1st 'Stang project. And is "ignition module" the condenser inside the dist? BTW, any good URL's so I can research? Google has a million of them, but I'd appreciate any pointers. Thanks again.

I once had the same problem on an old '69 Toyota; turned out to be a defective condensor that had shorted out.

Are the points breaking? The capacitor could be shorting out. If you're not using a points/condenser system and are using some sort of electronic module, the problem is probably there.
Thanks, guys. Will replace points and condenser tomorrow. Will post update after.
