I also checked to make sure I'm getting power from the coil to the cap, and it has power. So then I loosened the distributor and pulled the number one plug wire off the plug and checked for power as I turned the distributor back and forth (with the #1 lined up with rotor). I got nothing at the plug end like this, so I ran a jumper from the coil terminal in the cap to the #1 terminal in the cap, and had power at the plug end of the plug wire. So do I need to adjust the pick-up on the rotor so it's closer? I'm not sure, because I don't think spark could jump that gap with only battery power, but somebody else said to try it.
