Update: Put the new coil and wires on and cleaned the plugs and points, and it fired up and is running smooth as butter. Planning to order the new points, condensor and plugs later, just wanted to get it going for now.
Matt, you are so right about it being difficult seeing the spark in daylight. Before we tried to start it up we looked for spark at the plug and could not see it in the sunlight. We scratched our head a little and put a bolt in the boot of the wire and lo and behold it was a tiny spark but it was sparking. Put the plugs in hooked up the wires and it fired right up. I really did expect to see a better spark. Previously we could see a spark from one side of the old coil but it was cloudy out that day.
