after you disconnect the shift interupt switch, check for voltage at teh + terminal on teh coil, you should have around 12volts cold, after it warms up the voltage will drop from the resistor wire in the harness, if you have voltage and the shift switch isn't grounding the coil, remove the cap, bump the motor over, you should see sparks at the point contact, if you don't, bump the engine over till they are closed, and rub the contacts together, you should see some sparks at teh contacts, put everything back together, don't forget the rotor, and you should have spark at the plugs. DO yourself a favor, replace teh points with a pertronix conversion kit, its easy to do and the engine will run better, you won't have to worry about points again
