I had encountered the same thing. The coil needs need to be located in correct position to get the good air gap (it is better with the coil set up ring (ID = 4.468″). I got this number from the web and made the ring. It worked well. Then you need to set up the timing correctly. Forget about 0.020″ gap, just go with timing by the multimeter method and get the spark right away! But just make sure the condenser is good first.
