Some friends of mine replaced multiple parts in the distributor and I replaced the coil because there was no spark coming from the coil. Still no spark. I'm at a loss.

More than likely we have an issue with the crank angle sensor, but I imagine this is one of the parts that were replaced in the distributor as this is where it is located.

However, we need to use the wiring diagram and find out if we have voltage getting to the distributor and igniter.

If not, then we could just have fuse issue.

However, we can use this guide to help test for spark:

Please see the attached documents and let us know what you find with this. Also, if you could let us know exactly which parts in the distributor were replaced?

Thanks
