All good ideas there..I was wondering whether the post on the coil had been overtightened ,causing a crack between post and outer edge ?

i know it sounds ,,daft,, but check youve got the polarity right and check the quality of the connection of the ,,trigger,, wire at the coil
it would be interesting to check each side of each connection/joint in the wiring with a volt meter..

did that about 5 times. what i really need to know is why its sparking from the live wire at the coil

Have a wee look at the distributor again .
Suck on the vacuum tube end on the flying saucer and check that the points plate moves .
Take the distributor out if you cannot get access to suck .
If the end of the flying saucer lever is not located in the points plate peg on the underside of the base then the points plate will not be in the correct position relevant to the rotor /pickup . Originally posted by fifer ; Today at 08:01:52 PM

its unusual thats why i asked about volage 12volt low tension shuold find it hard or shouldnt jump like that unless there,s a crack or a damp track for it to follow . where as high tension I.E.. coil king lead or plug lead will jump that distance easly, could do with a couple of ,snap shots, of youre set up ,, may be able to spot something, |

Because all that voltage has to go somewhere!
You apply 12v to a coil of wire wrapped around an iron core, this induces an increase in voltage on the primary windings.
When the points open, or the module switches, the voltage is released, this causes a drop in voltage on the primary windings.
This voltage drop induces a current build up in the secondary windings, which are coiled over the primary ones, because there are many more coils in the secondary set than the primary set the voltage is much higher.
The secondary winding is connected directly to the king lead, and this is where the spark should go.
Your coil is either faulty with a break in the windings or your module isn`t switching.
