How are you "Gauging" the Strength of the Spark?
How does it look with a plug out and grounded to engine?
Is this a point system?
What have you "Performed" or replaced? New or used parts.
Is this a "Stock" Set-up?
Exactly what is occurring/ not occurring?
What have you tested and how?
Need more info, and More Detail is Better!

If it has a good snapping blue spark going into the D/Cap and weak coming out towards the plugs-best replace the cap and rotor it has to go thru there before it hits the plugs-My question now are your plug wires any good, not sure check its resistances-anything over 30K's ohms put it in the trash can called filer no.13
NOTE: Don't forget to check the condenser/capacitor-should be infinite reading, pigtail and housing
