This is another case of turning over but no spark.
I have performed a full engine rebuild and am attempting my first start but cannot get spark. I replaced the battery assuming the dead cell and max 74% charge was the culprit. A big fat negative.
Nothing else in the ignition system was replaced during the build.
I have 12 V from the coil plus to ground. 12 V from the pink wire at C19 at the ignition switch.
Are there any tests I can do to verify the coil? Is there anything else that could be the culprit? I might need new leads but I am pretty sure they were new prior to the tear down attempting to diagnose the original cause of no start ~5 years ago. I might just need a coil but really don't want to buy one if its not needed.
Edit: I added an engine bay starter button by jumping across the starter leads. It turns it over easy with this with Key On.
Edit 2: My voltage gauge is reading 16V with red light but doesn't seem to move off that no matter the key position or battery hooked up. Obviously the light is off when no battery.
