318 no spark??

"Most likely" something you did or defective parts, such as a bad condenser, or maybe the insulation (example) is deteriorated on the primary wire and has shorted to the dist. case.

What do you have for test equipment, IE multimeter, test lamp?

You should be able to completely eliminate problems in the wiring by simply BRIEFLY wiring a clip lead to coil+ and then cranking the engine while you test for spark. DO NOT leave the coil powered up this way for more than you need to test.

If no spark, Put your meter/ test lamp on coil NEG to ground, crank the engine and see if you get on/ off (bright /dim) lamp flashes, indicating your points are actually opening and closing, and actually switching the coil on/ off

You MUST have a good condenser (capacitor) to build spark energy.

Don't forget the simple stuff--- maybe when you pulled things apart you damaged the coil wire which may be old and deteriorated internally, if it's resistor (suppression) wire
