Default Re: Not getting power to coil

How do I know there is no spark from the coil? Well your not gonna like this, no good mechanic does ... but I've been doing it for over 50 yrs and for me it is VERY accurate. What I do is HOLD the wire (from the coil or from a plug) as I put it to a spot on the engine, and believe me when I say I KNOW when I have a good spark or a weak spark or none! I could probably almost read you out the amperage by the tingle in my teeth. Embarrasing yes but there it is.
