My 51 TEA has been starting and running great for the past couple of months ,yesterday after running it for about 15 minutes it abruptly stalled .I was unable to restart it and towed it back to the workshop where I discovered that i am not getting any spark , I replaced the ignition coil and still no spark , I replaced the condensor and still no spark, it is a 12 volt system with an alternator.anybody have any suggestions?

Have you checked if the distributor is turning?

Apart from making certain you are getting power to the Coil from the ignition switch you should check the small bolt that runs through the side of the distributor bowl and that clamps the wiring and the points. If you remove this bolt, there is a small insulator shaped like a Top Hat but without a crown, this is where the bolt passes through. This insulator can get worn where it all clamps up and it will short out to the Distributor. Be careful you don't drop this insulator as it is so small you are unlikely to find it again....John

Check the insulation between the points and distributor pin and top plate. The points may be shorted out to ground.

I believe I would be looking for a broken wire or possibly check to see if the switch is bad. Richard

As Richard said check wiring. Are you getting power to the coil. If you are I would change the points and make sure they are gapped right.
