Maybe unplug the alternator and try it. If the alternator has an
internal short, it (some/most) can ground the power for the spark.

Re: 1973 cj5
I don't know if yours has a "module" on the pass fender
under the hood. Some have said mine should not , but it
did/does, and when it went, no spark.
Your going to have to ask around as to testing them. Mine
ended up being a bad ground, once cleaned and tightened, I
got to take the new module back. I am not purposefully
calling it by the wrong name, I just cannot for the life of
me remember at the moment what it is actually called.
Good Luck
