[rollen dean montoya]

take it to a shop and have the dizzy tested. also check the wiring of the coil

Mark, A couple simple chec ks could really help clarify things.

Pull one of the wires and put a spark plug in it. crank it.. if ya got spark ou will see it.

If there is spark.. And I know this sounds dumb.. make sure it's got gas, It sat for awhile right? just check.

If ya got both.. then the dizzy is in wrong.

Get a remote starter switch and slowly advance the distributor off TDC while cranking (ign on) until it catches - then set timing with a light.
