First, I would double check that the ignition coil wire is properly seated on both ends and the wiring between the coil and the power stage is properly attached.

Another no cost option is to check the condition of all the ignition related ground wires, clean off any corrosion on the wires and grounding area with sand paper (or similar), then spray with electrical cleaner (CRC makes a good one) and reattach the wires.

Did you test the coil as Machine Man suggested? You don't need a test light, multimeter or voltmeter if you follow his suggestions on how to manually test it although I strongly advice you buy one. It will save you a lot of money, grieve and aggravation in the future. Been down that road of throwing parts at an electrical problem. Gets expensive fast...:)
