Check the wiring coming out of the mag plate for being broken or loose.

Yes, the plate that moves when you advance and retard your timing.

Ok thanks don't think it could be the rectifier or the coils I wouldn't think it wasnt the rectifier for its just for the charge system if I'm correct and the 2 coils are cutting out almost simultaneously I believe according to my spark tester and timing light I may have answered my own question but I find second apinions helpful
