1938 straight 6 pickup. 6 volt. Hooked up as neg ground. Get power to the + side of my coil with key on. Power to - side when try to turn engine over. No sign of power ( tester not light up) at top of coil or at plugs when key on or when engine cranked over. Points spark when "clapped" when key on.
Engine turns and cranks but no sign of firing over at all. New coil -nada. Tried old coil too. Same thing. Tried new cap and rotor with no affect. Old parts not work either.
Dang thing ran before I put in new points, plug wires, etc. I am truly stumped.
I should get power out of top of coil when engine cranked, correct? Any ideas??
