I have now installed a new battery and thoroughly cleaned the coil HT opening. I can get a spark from the king lead against the head if I flick the points... but there is nothing at the plugs or end of leads. The rotor arm is rotating and looks like it is making contact in the centre of the cap.
I presumed there was some points resistance and have cleaned them up with some fine abrasive paper. I checked the plugs and lead ends but can see nothing obvious.
I am not sure if a duff condensorl will stop sparks like this?
As has been stated it looks like a dead short somewhere.??
What could have happened while the car was unused for a few months.?
Still puzzled,
Ray.
