Paul, as with all remote diagnostics its difficult here goes 1 Whats changed ? since the car was running any adjustments/alterations /mods. Start here 1st 2. Obvious plug problems - dirty age 3. Cb points closed pitted dirty grease across surfaces 4. Coil LT lead split- HT lead cracked - and best of all the distributer cap cracked tracking I would favour checking for spark/volytage at the points, if no good look this evening for evidence of electrical tracking on dssy cap -also check the centre graphite component is still there - it presssses onto the c rotor arm. Good Luck steve

i know this might sound real dumb but try checking the fuse for the coil. i belive its the one closest to the drivers door. if its blown it will crank but no spark.
