Still No Spark, Any Ideas?

[904cafe]

Alright guys, I hate to admit this... I was 90% sure the reason I wasn't getting spark was my coil, sooo... I bought a nice Dyna coil and fabbed up some wires withe some nice NGK plug caps etc etc. Mounted it, wired it up... and BAM still NO SPARK! This whole time it's been something else. Bummer. I know for a fact the coil is getting power. Last night my battery read around 12.6v (it's been sitting for about a week and a half) and the coil was getting about 12.4v (if I remember correctly). Sooo? What else could it be? I'm going to double check my timing with a 12v bulb tonight and make sure it's firing at the "F" and the point is opening at the right time and space (even though I just recently checked the gap). HMMMM? Any other ideas? Stuff I can have a look at tonight?

Atleast I have a nice NEW Dyna coil! haha

Just to take it to the nth degree, have you confirmed no-spark at the plug caps? You've put new plugs in?

ya there new plugs, brand new. how would i test spark at the cap without a plug? i also ran a circuit tester from one end to the other of my new wires and its a full circuit.

did you ground the coil properly

stupid question... but on this Dyna coil the mounting holes seem to be all plastic/resin. I don't see how it grounds? The factory one had metal rods or pegs that the mounting bolts went through. IDK? anyone with a Dyna coil have a clue?

Update:

On my lunch break I pulled the alt cover and point cover and grabbed a tiny little 12v light. I didn't have much time, so I did it by memory (which may mean I did it wrong anyways). I put the positive wire of the bulb to the points (right where the wire screws to the point) and grounded the negative wire on the motor. How about it stays on ALL the time!? I spin the motor over and it never goes off. Did I do it wrong or is there something wrong?

Edit: Double checked with my manual... I was doing it right.... I even did it again just now and made sure the + was only touching the "spring" part of the breaker point. It stays on all the time. I made sure theyre wern't any bare wires leading to the breaker as well. I'm so clueless, please give me hope or atleast ideas.

???

Still really confused? I may have it grounded wrong, but IDK. Or maybe the condenser? It would could be stuck open? Any ideas may give me something to start with.
