I have the manual but all it made me realize is that Clymer has made progress in leaps and bounds since the 60's. Besides telling me a few specs for timing it is pretty useless.
So you guys are constantly talking about coils thats what I thought too BUT the shop tells me they are good... The dealers around here suck... which is probably the norm wherever you are. But I get a good spark if I switch the wires. This is what I mean when I say I switch the wires... I have two condensers two points two coils and one cylinder... just kidding... anyway the left coil is fed from a white wire (bad spark) and the right coil is fed from a black wire (good spark). Just before the coils, on the wiring harness, they are spliced by plug in connectors you can just pull out. So I pull them out and connect them in the reverse order SO... the white wire (bad spark) leaves the condenser gets almost to the coil and then it rides on the black wire and the coil sparks good. But the black wire comes from the condenser then before it hits the coil it is switched to white and now this has a bad spark.
