Same as any other, hot and not, should spark when one or the other is lifted. Have you changed the module yet? Usually that's the culprit.

Idk ?
Mine has the module inside?
Also has a hot ignition wire and the rest just plug back into itself where the ignition or Batt wire goes.

I unhooked the batt and tried to start my truck with the fuel line not hooked up to the carb. I got no fuel. Pump is fairly new so im confused...which isnt hard.

I may open my fuel filter up and take a look.

If memory serves there is a little module in the base of the dizzy that controls spark.
