No Spark in the 65

Help needed. I am not getting a spark, was getting a weak spark found out my new condenser was shot, put in a new one and arranged the wiring. Please see picture, a little blury but I set it up according to the VB diagrahm.

I attached the terminal lead under the point spring, then a plastic washer, then the point spring, the condenser lead followed by a nother plastic washer then the set nut. The plastic washers have an extension that fits down into the spring on both the bottom and top plastic washer, I have let the flat side up. Or is this all wrong? I am using a new coil.

The terminal lead and the condenser lead go ON TOP of the points peg insulated from the peg by the plastic washer. Sounds like you have one on top, the other on the bottom.
Both together, on top and insulated via the plastic washer.
