I would have to disagree with this diagnosis, as he said the engine turns over
fine, just no spark, if it was a ground issue, it would not turn over.

When you feel you have achieved spiritual clarity get out your multimeter and check the battery ground first and then the points. Coils do fail but not as often as you might think. Before I achieved the high level of spirituality I float around in now I diagnosed my Eldo's hard starting and replaced the coil -- backwards -- with the wrong type (externally balasted). It still ran pretty good until I figured out my mistake and put in a new coil and points fired black box -- which fried in less than a year stranding me on the Queensboro bridge and testing my Yogic calm. It's a bad ground. Breathe. Feel better?
