No start, weak spark 700 1988

If you don't have Bougicord plug wires it could explain the weak spark. Normal crimped end wires don't make contact with the pins in the base of the distributor holes. This extra gap reduces the spark voltage. Also turn on the ignition and check the injector plugs for voltage. One pin should have 12 volts to ground and the other zero. No 12 volts indicates a relay problem.
