Once again I am stumped... I adjusted the points and have tried to get a spark but still don't have any. My only other thought is that the coil is bad. I did have it tested at Autozone, but I'm not sure the results they came up with were right. They tested it, then looked at a book to see if it was within range, but I'm not convinced, first because I think their results were for the original 6 volt coil, and I have a newer 12 volt coil. Since the coil is the only thing I haven't yet replaced that is needed to start the engine, I'm going to replace it. My hope is that once I have it replaced the engine will start right up.

On a side note, since we still don't have Diane titled in our names because of difficulties with the Oregon DMV, we have been on the lookout for the next of kin to the original owner. This past weekend we found him. Lydon, Paul's son lives down near Milwaukie and has agreed to help us out with some of the paperwork we need. He told Margaret a lot of information about the truck, including the fact the engine really wasn't doing all that well when they last used her. He said that he knew they should have done some work to the engine to help preserve it a bit before parking her for good.
