I have just stumbled on a potentially valuable website for restorers and addicts of classic porsches. Free site as this one is that allows owners to trade surplus parts. ibtradin.com catchy name!

I have just completed a '69 911E restoration, and even though I'm an electrical engineer, I had to really work to get the electrical system correct. You realize that the points do not use a "Condenser" (actually a capacitor)..right? If your distributor has a capacitor on the outside, then it may be your problem. With the capacitor out of the circuit, ensure the points are actually connecting the wire from the capacitive discharge unit to ground. If the car has sat for a while, it's entirely possible that the surface of the points are dirty and not actually making a connection. To test this, disconnect the wire from the side of the distributor and touch it to ground, while placing the distributor end of the coil wire within 1/8th of an inch to a ground, like the engine block. Ignition switch "on", each time you touch the distributor wire to ground, you should have a VERY hot spark at the coil wire. DO NOT handle the business end of the coil wire as you may get a veeery nasty surprise. I finally found the correct wiring diagram at www.nineapart.com-pdfs-911-1-65-69 Good luck and I hope I've helped!
