If you have voltage to the coil and all else is correct, Could be: condenser, bad points, bad rotor, bad cap or middle tower wire. Distributor not rotating. You need to be sure you have voltage at coil during cranking. Right is right, even if everyone is against it, and wrong is wrong, even if everyone is for it. - William Penn
