Crank No Start

1974 F-350 with a 360. Truck was running when i put it away. went to start it after a year. It would not start when i took it out. Had issues with fuel cleaned and rebuilt the carb, cleaned and flushed the tank and replaced the fuel pump. After all that was done all my fuel issues seem to be OK. Now i have a spark issue. I have little to no spark out of primary coil. Ohm test results for the coil are 10.6 Kohms at primary, 1.6 K ohms at secondary’s . Replaced points an condenser, plugs,cap an rotor and tested the coil wire.I have spark everywhere but little to no spark out of primary and no spark the plugs. All plug wires tested fine. Tested number 1 distributor position is good and still no run. Totally baffled. Please Help

First, WELCOME to FTE!

How's the battery voltage? What voltage is between the (+) side of the coil and ground while cranking?

Coil is pooched.

Primary windings you want to see ~ 1 ohm. Secondaries you want 8 -11 K Ohms.

Might be something behind the failed coil.....something that caused it to fail.

Get back to us after the new coil is in with any problems you might have.....or no problems you have.
