My 63 Impala SS with 409/340hp (42k original miles) was running last fall when I put it in storage for the winter. Started and warmed it up twice during the winter. Tried to take it out for it for it's maiden 2020 run, and it won't start. No spark.
I changed the points, condenser and rotor, checked continuity of the negative wire from the distributor to the coil and the ground wire from the breaker plate to the vacuum housing, and checked the voltage at the positive terminal on the coil -- 12.6V with ignition on, and 10.4V when cranking the starter. Secondary coil wire checked out at 748ohms. Gap on points is set at .019". I see nothing wrong with the distributor cap. Still getting no spark at the coil wire.
What else could cause it not to spark? Thanks in advance for everyone's help.
