Default HELP!!!!!

I am going NUTS!!! I picked up a 67 stang that did not run, and being that ive been working on cars for almost 20 years i thought no problem.... Well now i have a problem and this is it. Themotor is a 289 thats getting no spark, so i checked the power to the coil (good) changed the coil, points, condenser, cap, roter plugs and wires. Still no spark!!! Any help would be nice thank you.

Not a big mystery, check for 12V during cranking on both sides of the coil. If you don't see it come and go on the (-) side, there is a short in the dist primary wire or the points aren't opening and closing, or the capacitor is shorted. If that's all ok then it's in the secondary wiring. (coil wire, cap, rotor).
