no spark !!

Thanks - will let you know the results.

Let me know...good luck

IF you are dropping to 6 volts when cranking, see if you have the same voltage drop at the battery.  If so, you could just have a bad battery.  Or the starter is pulling WAY too much power.  Either way, the engine would be cranking slowly.

try getting a new battery. sometimes with a dead battery such as yours a jump wont give it enough juice to start. i have had this happen on a couple of cars and once a new battery was in there was no problem. one car ran to auto store and would not start when i came out and it was showing spark. turned out the battery was bad and i even tried jumping it. good luck

OK, here's the update.  Replaced the ignition switch - still no spark.  I tested the volts at the distrib. while jumping & the reading was 13 while on & then falls to 6 while cranking.  I received the same readings while jumping from the alt to the distrib.  I then removed the battery & noticed some corrosion.  I cleaned that up.  I went to the store & purchased a new battery on the advise from eddie20875 (thanks).  I replaced the battery & still no spark .  I performed the same tets as above & the readings are now 11.75 while on & 9.50 while cranking.  I hope this info helps.  By now I think I've replaced everything except the wiring.  While it's been fun working on my baby, it's getting frustrating.

Do you have spark at the plug wire terminal at the distibutor? Or no spark at the end of the wires? Need to maybe start to check for ground problems.... is the little wire that attaches to the coil with the 1/4" bolt grounded? and make sure that where the connectors go on are not bent over and not making contact.

I have no spark at the plugs.  How should I test for spark at the distrib ?  The little wire appears to be grounded & I don't see any of these connectors being bent.  Is there a test I can do with my digital meter to make sure it's grounded properly ?

is it possible you installed a bad ignition module? maybe too much of the diseletric grease or not enough? this is a strange problem. sorry that the battery advice didn't work

The greas goes on the back of the module, its helps tramsfer heat from the module to the case, you might double check the contact and seal  between the coil and the cap
