This might be simple but it happened to me. Check your ground connection. I think it's mounted through the toolbox bolt. If you do have a bad coil I have a new one for sale. I thought I had a bad one and bought one. Ended up I didn't need it. Good Luck.

Front mount or side mount?
Front mount-- While you have the distributer off.
Check the shaft bushings and advance weights for wear. Replace as necessary. Adjust the points to .015. It is a good idea to check the gap on all 4 of the cam lobes to check for wear. Adjust the timeing acording to the FO4.
Reasemble the distributer with cap and coil.
Set you're VOM to impedance (ohms) at the X1 or it's lowest scale.
Conect one lead to the top of the coil where the feed wire ataches.
Connect the other lead to the distributer body.
Turn the shaft by the tang on the back of the distributer.
As you turn the shaft the meter should read the points opening and closing.

Did you have spark before the ture up ? If so recheck all your connections and maybe substitute the old parts one at a time to determine of one of the new parts is bad. Make sure your connections are clean, tight, and electrically good. Check your points to make sure they are properly gapped. Did you try to jumper across your key switch and see if you have spark? If still no spark, used a volt meter and check to see where the breakdown is. Good luck.
