Hi Tyler, side pull will be electronic, the ignition module is riveted under the plate, follow the wire from the coil. I would change the module first, they do fail. I rivet the module on the top of the plate to get a bit of airflow over it. Then test and see if you have spark, if not change the coil, and if you get spark you know where the problem is. As for the plug lead does it has the screw in the end with the rubber boot covering it? Even if you have a points ignition motor just ignore the points and fit a module and that saves all the points/condenser problems
