Changed Ignition module, changed plugs plus wires, changed rotor, changed distributor cap, new battery, new alternator, new belt; still no spark.

Changed gas tank and fuel pump last year. Could it be either the ignition switch in the sterring colum or feul sending unit? Unless you suggest somthing else. I am at the point of giving up and sending this no rust immaculate looking car to the dump.

Your help is greatly appreaciated.

Test the coil's primary and secondary windings resistances and the distributor pick-up coil. Make sure the coil is getting battery voltage

Thanks for the advice. We will give that a try and see if it works.

That worked. The coils were the problem. Now all is in place and the car is running.
