Will not start no spark at coil

Good evening.

If you have a test light, check for power on the negative side of the coil. If you do, crank the engine and see if the light flashes.

If it does then the coil is bad.

If it does not, then it could be the pick up in the distributor or the ignition module.

OPERATION
Manifold vacuum and carburetor ported vacuum are both used for the ignition spark advance mechanism. On some engines, a coolant temperature override (CTO) valve determines the correct vacuum source, according to coolant temperature.

On other engines, a non-linear vacuum regulator (NLVR) valve combines manifold vacuum at idle speed and carburetor ported vacuum at a ratio proportional to the amount of throttle opening.

No. It will not react quick enough.

You can get one for under ten bucks at a parts store.
