Well I did go ahead an bought a new coil at Autozone. They happened to have one in stock and it was only 15 which I didn't think was to bad.

I did get some new plug wires and plugs installed. I poured a little gas down down the carb. Got in the car. Turned the key on. Hit the starter button. The engine turned over but nothing else. So I pulled one of the plug wires off and stuck an old plug and set it on the head and tryed turning the motor over and got no spark. So now I will have to dig deeper in to the distributor.

I was reading on another site and it look like almost every body is running copper core wires so I'm thinking that maybe the problem.

Well I installed new point and condensor and I'm know getting spark. So I tried putting a little more gas down the carb. The real cool thing was that I actually got a puff but the bad part was it was out of the carburator. So know I think that my next big challange will be to get the timing right.

Well I have tried to get this thing running. I thought for sure that it was my timing that was messed up. So I have tried way of that I can find and I'm still not getting any firing at all. I'm running out of ideas on what to do.

Hopefully somebody on here can give me some new Ideas to try.
