Got compression?

Will the spark jump a 1/2 inch air gap?

It is probably best to check it instead of dismissing it. If you test it, you know beyond a shadow of a doubt as to whether it is fully functional or not. Then you can fix it or rule it out and move on to the next part of the problem, until you solve it. Before you know it, you will be driving that car.
