Three things come to mind.  Could be any or none of them.
Bad coil - I know that you said it was new - try a KNOWN good one.
Pinched wire where it comes out of the distributor.
Worn out points plate.

Subject: <VV> No spark

1967 Monza coupe,  pg, 95 h.p.      I took this car out on a drive this week and 
it started missing, sputtering.  I pulled into a station and filled her up with 
gas.  The car ran better so I just thought I had some poor gas.  Later drove it 
some more and started the missing, bucking at highway speed, and some times 
quitting for a moment.  Today I cranked her up and it ran poorly in the garage.  
Then it wouldn't start.  There is fuel going to the carbs as I cracked the lines 
at the carbs and cranked it.  I have a weak voltage on the positive side of the 
coil.  Points, condenser, rotor, and cap are new.  I put my timing light on it 
and didn't have any spark.  Tried a new coil on it, too.  Any suggestions?  
Thanks, Ernie in Louisville, ky.
