No Spark

I was driven my car and it died. Tried to restart it and nothing, checked the for spark and there was none. I have HEI Distrib, went and bought a new MODULE & ROTOR BUTTON. When I put the parts on and got the distributor cap back on it, still had no spark. Would the distrib cap cause that if not that is the only other thing that I could fihure that would be wrong. Would anything else cause the car to not have any spark? Any replies are help would be great.

Wiring in/to the cap also...


Do you have a full 12v going to the cap?

The pick-up coil, or the ignition coil. If you have a logic probe or a meter with a logic function check the ground side of the primary ignition for switching voltage. If you don't see that ground side switching then you would suspect either the pick-up coil or the ignition module. Since you have a new module you can rule that out. If you do see the ground side switching then I would suspect the ignition coil.
