Help needed here... really badly...

Ok, Ive got a 1988 T/A 305 TPI, I just replaced the heads with L98 Aluminum heads. I removed all emissions stuff, replaced my, spark plug wires, ignition module, and rotor. Everything is hooked up, the motor has been gone over tons of times. Here is my problem, the motor cranks, but, doesnt start. The head scratcher is this: I get 12 volts into the coil, and NONE out! I just replaced the OEM coil with a MSD Super coil about 1 month ago, I had the OEM coil laying here, so I tried it. Same thing.. no spark out of the coil. I thought it was the ignition module, so I just replaced that. Anyone have any ideas at all? This is driving me insane... please help!

You prolly did this, but check all the wires going into the ignition system, one of em might have gottne disconnected. Your problem sounds like power not getting to distributor so I would check all the wires connected to the bottom of it.

I had this same exact problem and one little wire under the distr. got loose while I was changing the plug wires and it would turn over but wouldn't start.

Hope it helped...
