As most of you know i completely redid my whole car. wiring, suspension, motor, etc etc.
Everything seems to be working great, except that im not getting enough spark to my plugs. The spark is so weak going to my plugs that it wont even make my timing light blink when its connected.
Ive changed teh cap and rotor with no success, put in a different distributer with no success, used different plug wires with no success, used another ignition moudle i had laying around with no success. If i disconnect the coil wire from the coil, it will zap everythign to hell when i crank it over so im guessing that is providing enough spark to the distributer cap. For some reason, the spark is being lost somewhere in the cap because it wont even light up the timing light.
I disconnected a plug wire from the plug and connected another spark plug at the end and cranked it over, there IS spark, but its so little, it wont turn the motor over nor make teh timing light work.
Anyone have any suggestions? This is my last effort before i go senile.

Sounds like you've been through everything but the coil itself.
