New coil came in. I swapped it out with the old one, which was much harder than it should have been trying to get the bolts that hold the coil in place back in. Now the car won't even fire. I haven't checked for spark yet -- ran out of time. The car just cranks and nothing. I got the Pertronix Flamethrower, which is specifically supposed to work with Pertronix ignitions. The old coil was a Lucas coil. The swap was straightforward -- put the black cable on the negative terminal, put the red cable and the cable going to the generator on the positive terminal. I can't figure out what has gone wrong, unless the new coil is bad.
