No Spark in Coil Wire
I am getting 12 volts going to the coil, but nothing from the coil to the distributor. No spark, nothing. I know for sure the coil & coil wire is good. We have 4 of them and another TA sitting next to me to ensure correct wiring. All connections are good, and the coil wire was sparking like a fool a few days ago before I opened the motor up.
Any Ideas?

No one knows eh?
Maybe this will help someone in the future. All info pointed toward the ignition P/U coil in the distributor, so I replaced that. When I went to take out the old one, the part that it fits in broke into several pieces. So I got a whole new distributor and that solved the problem.
I think it was either the Ignition P/U Coil $14 or the ignition module, the piece that 2 plugs attach to on the distributor.

I would have guessed the ignition module.
