If you're getting a high voltage spark from the center coil tower, you need to replace the rotor- - - -that's what sends the spark to individual plug wires. Rotors can short out sand send the spark to the distributor shaft instead of out to the plugs. If there's no spark from the center coil tower, recheck the wiring from the coil primary terminal to the points- - - -it's possible the plastic insulator block at the side of the distributor has shorted out.
