Greetings,

What is your capacitance meter reading, and what value should it be 
reading?  Do you have a dead cap, or a bad connection, such as a cold joint?

Thanks for the advice!!!!!!!!! I guess I need some help on the tuning
process. I've tried adjusting the spark gap and moving the primary lead
around but nothing seems to work. My coil acts like the caps are dead as a
post.

I tested them with a capacitance meter and it gives me a different reading
everytime I test it.

Thanks Again,
JIM
