Hey mate cheers for the info, have checked continuity between coil and dist. At first I got a reading so then checked between coil and earth but didnt get anything. Tried opening points after disconnecting condensor but no little spark. Then started again at cont. test coil to dist. and now nothing, however power on both sides of coil and down at distributor. Thinking the no reading thing may be cheap repco multimeter? I think if the power is going down to the distributor, it may be the distributor at fault? If i get time tomorrow may replace condensor, and maybe the points and see what happens.
