    Changed Spark Plugs, Changed Dist Cap, Changed Rotor
    Changed Condensor, Changed Points, Battery And Spark Plug Wires.
    Gapped The Points At .021, And .016.
    Not Getting Any Spark. Engine Ran Fine, Before I Replaced The
    Points. I Even Put The Old Points Back In, And Still No Spark.
    So, I Put The New Points Back In, And Still No Spark.
    Does Anyone Have An Idea What May Be Causing This.
    Thank You For All Your Help And Input.

    Probably redundant but ....

    Double check the condensor, it is very easy for the wire to fall off when installing.
    Coil wire is seated on both sides?
    Coil wires connected correctly?

    Also,make sure that when you secure the condensor you dont let the ground wire to it touch the dist housing.If it does:no spark.Good luck
