what is the deal ppl it CLEARLY say TESTED FOR SPARK AND NO SPARK.......if fuel pump is out that wont keep from sparking....if cilinder has an oil leak that wont keep all 4 from sparking....CLEARLY again is asked about coil and distrubutor.......anyway do you have gas in the car maybe you need to put gas in it..................jk i just thought id say something stupid to..........get spark tester you should be able to connect it to spark plugs and test and also to coil unless coil is diif from what im used you should be able to hook tester ther too if you do get a spark then its prolly not your coil could be distrubutor cap or distrubutor itself may even be the rotor under the distrubutor cap.........the coil on some cars have same connectors as the distrubutor if so just plug a spark plug wire to the coil (if this is the way you test spark be4) and keep plug on and away from anything else and give it a crank (do not hold hand close to plug) if there is a spark then coil is good only option left is look under the distrubutor cap if anything is broken then replace.........wire leading from coil to distrubutor could be bad mite wanna check that...if distrubutor looks good and nuttin is broke and you havent tested or dont have a way of testing the coil then more then likely its the coil....with old cars its always good to replace the old spark wires, coil, distrubutor cap and rotor under cap (little thing that spins) it shouldnt be any major parts so dont go taking major and heavy things apart unless you know the problem.
