    Update!
    Issue solved!
    Points were replaced.
    A friend helped me out with another set. Battery test was good, but then again, bad spark with flywheel pullover. Clearance issue!
    The black spark plug wire in photo was rubbing on the flywheel and so the electricity was going to the flywheel as opposed to the spark plug.
    I modified that coil a little more and soldered the wire on. No more clearance issue.
    All good.
    With that anyway.
    Still wouldn’t start!
    Low compression, 70 and 80 psi.
    Ahhhhh!
    Stuck rings.
    Ahhhhh!!!!
    Broke one trying to unstick it!!!!!
    Any one got a spare set laying around?
    Thanks for input,
