Drove the car just yesterday with no issue. This morning it started like usual, ran for a second, then died like I had turned off the ignition. No unusual noises. Now it just cranks and cranks. Cranking sounds just like it did before, it just never even tries to start.

Checked spark at the #1 plug, good. Checked spark at the coil, really good(ow). Voltage at the coil + term was good. No voltage on the distributor case, which I checked because I had a problem with the pass through grounding out before. I'll probably double check that tonight.

Fuel in both float bowls and filters. Checked the pump anyway, it's putting out fuel fine.

I'm thinking it has to be ignition. Tonight I'm just planning to chase it down with a multimeter. Any other ideas?
