I'm trying to put a '74 J10 back on the road that's been sitting for about 5 years.

It was running when it was parked and the old Jeep is still in pretty good shape except for a few of those rusty spots that seem to be common on the older Jeep trucks.

It's a 258 motor that still turns over but I'm having a problem getting it to fire up.

I put in a new coil, points, condensor, distributor cap and rotor button but I still don't have any fire.

I pulled the coil wire off and held it to ground while spinning the motor and I got no spark.

Back in the day, when I had no choice but to do most of my own work, before electronic ignition this was about the limit of my mechanical skills.

What do I need to look at now? Where does the coil get its juice?
I'm kinda stuck at this point.

Thanks, hudlow
