Exclamation No Spark!
I have a 1973 Ford F250 with a 360. I have no spark. I have tried adjusting the points in the distributor, following ignition wires (found two that were bad, but I did replace them), replaced the ignition coil. Just wanted to know if there was anyone that could help me on this???

You could try running a jumper from bat hot to the + side of the coil. That would bypass the switch and wiring. If it starts don't keep running it that way. It will burn the coil.

Is there power to the coil?

Marty

Edit: Good idea with the jumper wire - eliminate it all at once...
