Default Re: No spark

Well since you have new points, you need to check the 1.gap. Who did the points? You need to 2.check spark at a spark plug and you need to see if 3.gas is squirting inside carb. What does it do? Fire? no fire at all and no back fire? These are the basics of "was running now no start". Spark and gas.... There are a dozen things it could be. 4.Does coil have power during cranking? You don't have to be a mechanic, just mechanically/electrically inclined. You must have some basic knowledge if you have tried "almost everything". Let us know what that means specifically.
5.So..Running into the garage, then AC and points? then no start? Troubleshooting 101: S.O.E.= Sequence Of Events. Then test per that. It does seem like electrical/ignition/miswire, as you suspect, but don't want to marry that yet.
