I just went through the same thing. 8n (sidemount) running perfect for 2 years. All of a sudden no start. Checked plugs- no spark. Replaced coil and condensor-no spark. Did have spark from coil to ground with wire from coil to dist cap unplugged. replaced distributor cap and rotor- runs perfect again. cap and rotor looked good.
There are lots of things that. could be wrong, just take it in sequence.
Good luck....8n303882

Besides jumpering around the ignition switch, have you checked the stud on the side of the distributor where the small wire attaches? The insulator often fails, grounding out on the distributor body. A VOM and test light come in handy here.

Try jumpering out the ignition switch.
