Default Thanks for your help.

Car did crank over. It may have been the battery after all, sorry. Never showed any symptoms of slowing down, hard to believe, but I re-taped the bubbled + coil wire , charged it, replaced the 3A IGN fuse in the fuse block (looked bad with a lot of junk floating around inside the tube, but it did have continuity.) And it did crank. So problem #1 seems OK. No idea if I have a spark yet—Problem #2. Will try that again when I get home a little later. I know bad plugs put strain on the coil, but the Ohm test on the coil seemed at least marginally OK at 1.5 positive to negative, and 11.77 center pole to negative. Anything else I should check, coil-wise? Is there anything else that would be suspect in getting no spark at all? Could gas-fouled plugs alone cause no spark at all? Thank you, all.
