Replaced coil, tested moduel, TDC ok still no spark! Tune up(plugs, wires, rotor, cap done in past 6 or so months
only thing left that I did not check in "Haynes manual" is the so-called Radio condenser. Is that little thing the possible cause?
ps-i cant find that part anywhere

Have you checked if the coil is getting power? Also, have you checked the crank sensor? Timing belt?

No, it doesn't have one. Are you getting any spark out of the coil?

Open the oil fill cap and look inside to see if the cams or rockers are moving if not it is your timing belt!
