ok, my jumper wire i was using from the battery to coil was bad, got another wire and the coil seems to be ok. Still wont start, i think its flooded. I would have thought the plugs would be dried by now though, its been 2 days..

I think i want to replace the ignition with one that has some 'Balls' anyway. We have this spark checker at work that we use on the cadillacs, its shaped kinda like a spark plug that you clip to the side of the block and hook a plug wire to it and when you crank the engine over, a spark will jump on it if all is well. Even when my car is running, the ignition system is not strong enough to make a spark on the test tool.. any recomendations on a good strong but simple ignition? I dont have the money for a big msd crank trigger setup, so nothing like that. Would the petronix setup inside an old points distributor be stronger? Also, i want a coil that does not need a ballast..
