it could be the coil. Its like a 70 dollar part so dont replace it if your not sure. Take dist. cap off and take a ground wire and hold it close to it have someone crank it over if you see spark then your coil is good if not it needs replaced. Ok so if coil is good the your not getting spark after that which would be rotor cap wires and plugs. Check coil and get back. Well go from there.

the rotor is rusted in and you're wondering why its not getting spark?

figure out how to get it off. replace it. see if that fixes it. if not, then go from there.

Don't start duplicate threads on the same problem.
