OK,
I've done a search, and I have checked and done the following...
Cleaned points, disconnected condenser, replaced coil with a known good coil, bypassed ballast resistor, checked plugs, wires, cap and rotor.

The engine cranks over fine, plenty of gas, spark at plug is very weak. I even hooked up a fully charged battery directly to the distributor, and it still would not fire. I have verifed 12.86 volts from the battery all the way to the points, and still a very weak spark.
My dad tonight mentioned on the phone to check the ground to the engine, to make sure there is not a ground issue.
Does any one have any other ideas, short of ordering up one of Langdons electronic distributors for my 235? Or maybe do the Pertronics? Right now I just want to be able to move it under power, and she refuses to fire up...
ANy help would be greatly appreciated.
