Three things come to mind. Could be any or none of them.
Bad coil - I know that you said it was new - try a KNOWN good one.
Pinched wire where it comes out of the distributor.
Worn out points plate.
Later, JR

Subject: <VV> No spark
1967 Monza coupe, pg, 95 h.p. I took this car out on a drive this week and
it started missing, sputtering. I pulled into a station and filled her up with
gas. The car ran better so I just thought I had some poor gas. Later drove it
some more and started the missing, bucking at highway speed, and some times
quitting for a moment. Today I cranked her up and it ran poorly in the garage.
Then it wouldn't start. There is fuel going to the carbs as I cracked the lines
at the carbs and cranked it. I have a weak voltage on the positive side of the
coil. Points, condenser, rotor, and cap are new. I put my timing light on it
and didn't have any spark. Tried a new coil on it, too. Any suggestions?
Thanks, Ernie in Louisville, ky.
