correct
>gap for Spit. I set them at .014.
Correct gap for spit is .014-.016 (I use a dwell meter)
Try turning on the ignition, and manually open and close the points. You
should see a spark across them.
If you dont, the condensor is bad. If you do, the coil is bad.
Was it working before you changed these? If so, put all of the old stuff
back on, and try them one at a time.
I would bet that it is the condensor.
