Ok, phone conversation with Ed last night after I switched the wiring on the coil to condenser. I took the yellow and hooked it to green and vice versa. Plus, I had a points backer plate with points on it and put that on new as well. Plus a new condenser and here is what I got. Instead of the points arcing on the right side points, this time it was arcing on the left side---guessing because I switched the wires around. I also had good spark to the right side plug where I had NONE before. The left side sparked as well but lighter. So, in conclusion---sparking on both sides, left weak, and arcing at left points. Ed thinks maybe it is a coil issue after all so I purchased a used one off EBAY last night and when it comes I will try that route.

Not sure what else it could be.

Well, ordered a used coil from a guy on EBAY and that was the culprit. I have spark to both sides now.
