no spark at the plugs but juice at the coil 200 1986

posted by  someone claiming to be bearnoel on  Sat May 4 12:13 CST 2002 [RELATED]

I do not have any juice going to the high tension wire going from the distibutor to the plugs. The cables are less than a year old as are the distributor cap and rotor .
When the engine is not cranking but the ignition is turned on there is juice at the two low tension connectors on the coil. When the engine is cranked by the starter there is no park to the plugs.
How can I check if there is high tension going from the coil to the distributor without danger?
How can I spot and check the place where some low tension is supposed to get to the distributor and allow or signal the release of the high tension juice to the spark plugs?
