What are the condition of the leads, plugs? What are the plugs gapped at? How old is the coil?

[w35ty]

plugs and leads are fairly new.. when i test it from the king lead its weak there..
the coil came on the car? iv had it 2years standing.. bloke before me had it few years in garage so could it be that?

Whats the wiring like to the coil? Maybe test it voltage wise, if not swap the coil out of a known working one.
