I have a 1974 1.8 914 (L-jet). I set the point gaps last night, and the engine still just turns over. What was wondering is, if anyone has any suggestions on what would make my car have no spark. As of now im up for exploring all options. The plugs are good. If anyone has any suggestions on what i should check i would appreciate them greatly. Thanks,
Adam

Alright to answer ArtechnikA.

It did run last fall then it stopped abruptly. It wasnt up to full power. I've tried checking various parts of the system and i've pretty much narrowed it down to the coil/relay/distributor... not much help i know.

The coil gets voltage. Completely stock ignition.
The points were brand new when i set the gap, can't say for sure if they were opening and closing though.

I was also wondering at if someone could give me a brief idea of the relationship between the distributor and the ignition system, and how they send signals.

Thanks
