Howdy Kent,

"I have good spark going fro the coil to the distributer. But nothing going from the distributer to the plugs. That seems to be the problem."

Take the cap off and watch the rotor while turning over the engine. Does it turn?

Yes --> The spark is lost at the rotor to cap contacts (no contact). Possible incorrect rotor or cap not seated on distributor or OPEN circuit in the center tower of the cap. Look for carbon tracking inside the cap. Try the old rotor and cap.

No --> problem is rotor not turning.

If you know for a fact you have high tension on the center tower of the cap, and no spark at any of the four plugs, everything else in the system is working.

Do let us know what you find.
