if Trickster is wrong (which i have never seen before) check for a wire burned on the exhaust or cut by something. basically, follow the wire from the distributor to the battery.

Getting a wiring diagram would be a good place to start. I assume you mean the 12v power to the primary side of the coil. Check the fuse, if you have power at the fuse but not the coil a cut or burned wire might be the cause. If the fuse is blown it is a short to ground in the wire to the coil.
