Tom -
A few things to try
1) remove the black and white wire from your coil that goes to the battery
switch and see if that fixes the problem.
2) if not pull wire off spark plug and turn over with ignition and see if
you get a spark to the screwdriver to the plug lead. No spark will lead
you in the right direction...
although, 1) sounds to me as likely your problem
Other stuff might be (in order of checking):
3) rotor replacement
4) check coil to dizzy wire [are you using suppressed wires with the lucas
dizzy cap? big no no],
5) replace condenser [if you are using one]
6) replace dizzy cap
7) Change to coil you know is working
Best,
Alan
