    I have a 1968 engine with no spark, so far I've replaced points,condensor, and coil. I read 5.5-7 volts when cranking the engine over and testing the coil. Battery reads 12.25, that should be enough to give even a little spark, right? I did jump it earlier and it read 12.6 after 15 min of...

    The engine harness (coil wires, temp wire, distributor to ignition module, a/c, some wires for the carb and vapor canister) had a lot of frayed wires so I built a new harness. I left out the wires for the carb and vapor deal because my new carburetor doesn't use them.. When it was done I...
