Re: Getting no kind of fire to my plugs.

Assuming all the other parts, coil, cap and rotor, ICM, and plug wires checkout, it could be a bad pickup coil. In fact, I would not be surprised if it was the pickup coil. It is easily over looked and the next likely culprit. You will have to remove the distributor and take it apart to get to the pickup coil if it needs to be replaced.

I would check the output from the coil and check the pickup coil.

Hope this helps.
