turned key to start engine cranked almost started but didn't turned key again my bronco ll wouldn't start. i took coil wire off distibutor grounded with screw driver cranked engine no spark through wire. took other end off coil grounded post of coil cranked engine no spark as engine stopped cranking got a little spark then got thick orange looking spark tried again no spark . i bought a new coil put it in and still no spark. there is a condenser next to my coil and it's connected to one of the red wires hooked to the coil plug no one can tell me what it is for and i cant find it on any parts list i'm thinking this may be the problem but really have no clue. i have been told about a ballister resister cable but again no clue fusible links,and some other things. the problem is before the coil but have no idea where to look please if someone could give my some positive advice i would be very grateful. this is my work vehicle for now but will be my retirement restoration 1987 ford broncoll 2.9 ltr 4wd
