are you triggering the CD with the test light?

No - I was testing that the points were opening and closing with the test lamp

thats strange that the CD gets quiet when you ground the points, i thought that is when the oscilator is doing it thing so the cap can recharge. i will have to look into that.

Sorry, I miscommunicated that. There is no ADDITIONAL noise when grounding points, CD Box continues to whine the same.

disconnect the CD. with the points closed, veryify ground at pin C and an open when the points open.
verify a short from pin A back to the CD unit,some resistance through coil, but still basically a short. these are done on the wire harness, not the CD itself.
if you need to break it down, pin A to pin 15 on coil, pin 1 back to CD unit.

I verified all of this, but I will recheck again. I have chased all the wires and they are going to the right spot.

dumb question here, did you remember to put the rotor back on? my mind was wandering one day when i pulled the dizzy and i forgot the rotor.

Rotor is on but I am still "Telegraph" testing so that should take the dizzy out of the equation.
My next test is to check the bare shield wire that connects to the front of the CD Box has not shorted to the signal wire somehow (this is a new harness so a mistake could have been made). This would explain my signal from the points being lost and never initiating a spark.
Thanks,
