I just put in a new complete front to rear Ron Frances Harness in my 65 200 6cyl. First time ever doing this . Ok motor will turn over but no spark ? I have replaced coil, points , set timing, I have no idea what to do next . Any help would be very appreciated. Car was running before I messed with it.

Howdy! Verify that you are getting power to the coil. Check the ignition circuit. You have power to the starter but the power to the coil is not there for some reason.

I also looked at the coil and I have one wire going from the - side of the coil to the distributor and there are three wires coming from the ignition switch to the + side . Online it shows only one wire to each side could this be the cause ?

Sorry for the delayed response. You will need to look at your wiring diagram to determine exactly where those wires go. There are multiple wires on the + side of my ignition coil. One is the lead for my Tach though and you may not have that. Which harness did you get?

You can see my old wiring notes at the following link. I installed an EZ Wiring Harnes with 21 circuits. http://webpages.acs.ttu.edu/jikelly/wiring_notes.htm
