...fuel to the carb,? but i dont believe i am getting a spark the starter is turning over all the wires are good on ignition there is power to the ignition coil, I have a Accel hei super coil 140005, how do i properly test for spark, i have a multimeter and a light up probe now i clamped the one end of the probe to ground and the other end stuck inside the spark plug cap and turned her over and the light didn't light up, now in the case say i don't have a spark from the coil, how can i test the coil?
the altenator is new and so is the voltage regulator... the battery is brand new and i installed a new grounding cable from the battery to the block and its a 1 gauge wire....
 
being a 1970, its probably has points, check to see if theres juice into the points, by turning the switch on and take a screwdriver and open and close the points to see theres juice.if theres no spark at the points, check the ground wire going to the coil. or the points might have slipped.
