Starter Motor whine - either bad cable connection from battery / starter relay / etc. Or it is the inertia mechanism- (a spring loaded gear is pushed out by the rotating motor to engage with flywheel ring gear) - take off starter motor and lightly oil the drive shaft and inspect flywheel ring gear for missing teeth (Parts still available).
No Spark - using multimeter or a test lamp, disconnect wire at coil (from key switch to coil side), with key ON the lamp should light when connected between this wire and the Earth (either Battery terminal or engine block), now reconnect the wire if OK. Disconnect coil to distributer wire at distributer end and repeat, lamp should light. Coil fault if it does not.
If OK disconnect large high tension lead (coil to distributer)from distributer cap end and touch to spark plug top, now connect small wire end to earth and rapidly disconnect it. When rapidly disconnected it should cause a spark from the coil. Reconnect all wires.
Inspect distributer cap for cracks, burnt contacts, tracks (arc ing along cap)etc,
Check points for burning, corrosion etc and that they open and close properly, if burnt then you will need a new condensor as well as new points. Timing - Connect a test lamp between thin wire from coil and disributer contact, light should be on if points are closed, off when points are open, Rotate engine until no 1 cylinder is at approx. TDC on the compression stroke, Insert a drill bit into small hole on front of engine/bell housing face, bit should enter hole in flywheel and lock flywheel at the correct timing point. (Be careful you do not snap drill bit if engine is turned), Now slacken clamp on distributer body and rotate distributer body until the lamp just goes out. Engine now correctly timed.
Remove drill bit and reconnect all wires etc and try to start, if still no sparks remove High Tension lead at distributer cap (From Coil) and place close to good earth, and start, if spark produced then replace distributer cap, or rotor, or high tension leads to spark plugs, if no spark check points and condensor again.
