[solved]bug will not start

My bug will not start, can any one help me? I had a loud scraping sound from the motor fan. I took it off and the dog house. I stripped it to a long block. When I put it all back it will not start. I put all the wires back as marked and it cranks but will not start. There is no spark from the coil.
If any one has any clue I would like to hear it
THANKS

Do you have power going to the coil?

Make sure your power wire and points wire aren't swapped on the coil. The ONLY thing you should have on the (-) side of the coil is the points (green) or pertronix (black), and if you have a tach, a wire for that. Anything else and it will not run.

I made the mistake of swapping the coil + and the oil sensor wire before. It happens.

Yes I have power on (+) side and (-) said also. I was told to check my elctronic dis. it may have blown out.

You shouldn't have power on the (-) side.

Did you remove the distributor at all?

Coil crapped out? Might you have another one to stick in its place to test?

If it ran before pulling it apart I would lean towards an assembly error. Coincidences do occur but are pretty unlikely.

Thanks everyone for trying to help. The guys over in the Volky club helped me. Seems The-jerm was right. After 2hrs and changing the coil and dist. with his own, Wilmar said did you mark the 5 wires? and I said not realy only 2 go on this side so he switched the (+) and oil sender wires and it started.
Well Thanks again guys for your support.

It happens. Glad you got it fixed.

Moved from the BS File to the Electrical . Seemed like the right place for it.

Still B.S., If you ask me.
