    Default changed points.....was running great, next morning won't start!!!!

    hi,
    i repalced my points, dizzy cap, button and leads yesterday on my 4AC.
    and it was running sweet.

    got up this morning to drive to footy....and it won't start.
    it ticks over but doesn't ignite.
    seems that i might not be getting any spark??? but i don't know for sure.

    i unplugged the main lead from the coil, and don't seem to get any spark(as i was holding the metal connector end and didn't shocked.

    a mate of mine told me that coils rarely die, so my question is what do i do next?

    -i've checked the fuses...all good.
    -gap is good...set at 0.45
    -leads all plugged in correctly
    -sparks are practically new

    so what does anyone think it could be? as i am stumped!
    could it be the coil?
    condenser?

    any help would be awesome, as i kind of need to fix the car ASAP.

    cheers
