weak spark any ideas?

my problem is weak spark and ive been trying to narrow it down for about a week now. i have all new- accel cap and rotor, 8mm wires, platinimum plugs with .035 gap, and a new pick up coil and a durlalast battery that has more cranking amps then required
I have tried 2 coils a msd and stock, the stock was tested and its good so was the ignition module and that checked out fine when i replaced the pick up coil it was all corded and rusted in the distributor but i cleaned it out and its much better now also the coil is grounded and i used a test light to check for power to it and its good i did not check the distributor connections yet but will do so

any ideas to what my problem might be?
thanks in advance

Re: weak spark any ideas?

check and make sure you dont have any vacuum leaks. I thought I was having weak spark problems, but I had a vacuum leak.

food for thought.
