no spark !!

brian, there should have been a small packet of the dieselectric grease in with the module. besides transfering the heat i believe it also helps conduct the currents thru it. when you remove the ignition module make sure to clean the plate wher it mounts and the bottom of the module good. coat the plate with a very thin layer of the grease and reinstall the module. hope this works for you.

To test spark at the plug terminal at the distributor remove sprk plug wire at the distributor.... have a test light, and a wire with clips on each end. Attach the wire to good ground (alt ground) take the other end of the wire and connect it to the test probe of the test light. with someone cranking it over bring the probe with the ground wire attached close to the terminal and see if you have a spark. Be careful only hold the handle part of the test light (wear some rubber gloves if you have some), or you can try to rest it close while you turn it over.

When you put the coil in ....you did put the spring loaded button on the bottom that touches the rotor right? If you can maybe take the coil out take it back where you bought it and have them test it and take your old one with you and have them test it too....if the old one is good this will help/seperate to find the problem.

YEEEE HAWWWW!!!

That brown tach wire goes to a tach filter (or should) and then on into the dash and directly to the tach.   

Good going..... glad hear..now you can start another question thread for your tach wire problem.

I've said it before but is worth repeating. This is the greatest site and group of people anywhere to troubleshoot problems. It is the reason that I am a LIFER. What a wonderful group of friends.
