polaschd Wrench Fetcher P Joined: Dec 2010 Posts: 66 NC	I hooked a hot wire from battery to the positive side of the coil, the neg side on coil I attached to the post on the distributor that connects to the inside where the coil and ponts attach. I have set the point gap and rotor rotates but I am still not getting a spark when I hold the wire from the coil to metal no spark. Any suggestions
