Is it my condensor
Just reinstalled my engine, Got most of the wiring back and noticed my fuel pump wasnt making that whirling sound (power from the coil) and noticed no power to the coil and a blown fuse. When I pull the wire from the condensor power is fine, plug the condensor wire to the coil and sparks fly and fuse blows. I just put in new points and condensor fom my flaps (not sure of the brand but not original, not even a green wire). What could be causing the short?

Nope, the condensor goes to the (-) side of the coil. Points->condensor->coil (-) is how the hookup goes.
