If you go to the site here under diy it vcovers ignition systems and how to test it. But a quick test on teh old system like the 72 is to put a test light on the tach lead and if it blinks it should be ok. If this has the large cap and I think it does check your coil carbon piece between the coil and rotor. They would fail occasionally. Been so damn long I forgot, this may be points if it is.019 for new and.016 used poingts. Or 30 degrees dwell.
