I have a 1954 Hillman Husky Wagon that I bought as a "project" car
to improve my "weekend mechanic" skills.  I cannot start the car and
it has not run for approximately 5 years.  It turns over fine and the
carburator is getting gas (I think).  However, I do not get any spark
from holding the coil wire (distributer end) on the block.  I know the
coil is good because it works in my other Hillman (which runs fine)
What else should I check?  Could the coil be different enough that it
might work in one car and not the other (there is 7 years separating
the model year)?  Any suggestions would be appreciated!
