Coil Warm But No Spark on 83 240 200

I am aware of the caps situation. The first answer Trev gave me did not address the specific question I asked, hence my more than polite first response. Neither did the his second answer. I assume he means well, but being told repeatedly about the timing belt when I have an electrical problem (and recently changed the belt, AND rechecked it anyway) does me no assistance when I have two young children to transport. I suppose I could post irrevelent answers to every question as well, but I doubt it would help anyone out there.

I DO have a problem with people who have to put their two cents in without first reading the complete question. The first time was forgiveable, the second not.

However, I did receive several constructive answers to my second repost.

FWIW, I was hooking the gun to the wire between the distributor and the coil. Since the rotor is turning (and the belt is new) the light would strobe if there was a spark, no matter how far the timing was off.

Thanks to all.
