Hey all

I have an old 1974 ranchero that has been sitting in the weeds for a few years. I pulled it up to the garage and have been trying to get it started. The is no spark at the plugs. I have replaced the coil and it is getting power to it. the plug wires are good and the points are new. Any suggestions? Any help would be appreciated.

Short list of things to check:

Condition of cap and rotor ? Condenser ? Correctly wired ? Check all grounds ?

Thanks for the advice. Cheched all those things and found out that the new points were no good. Replaced them..again, and it fired right up. Thanks.
