Went to drive the Roadster for the first time in a while and I have no spark!  
I tested everything I can think of.  I have about 12 volts at the wire going 
to the condenser on the distributor, and to the points when open.  I have 
about 12 volts going to the + side on the coil.  I get no spark when I have 
the key turned to ON and I manually open the points.

I've replaced the points, condenser, rotor, and cap.  I've replaced the coil 
wire and the coil itself with spares that I had lying around, but I don't know 
if either is good.

How do I test the coil itself?  Shouldn't I get a little spark at the points 
when I open them with the key on?  Should the coil wire show an open line, or 
should it show connectivity?  What else should I look for?
