1986 z28 wont start

Ok, pulled in the drive shut it off and when I got back in it, the car just spins over. No fire what so ever. I have replaced the coil, ignition module, and distributor cap. I verified that there is 12 volts at the wire going in to the distributor also. The motor is a bone stock 305 4bbl. I also swapped the computer and still no fire. I am at a loss. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

thanks,
JS

Well, it turned out to be a bad distributor. We put a new distributor in and it fired right up. Got the idea for the fix from another site, www.hotrodders.com. You might give 'em a look if you can't get what you need here.

thanks, JS
