How are you checking for spark? What's the gap? What is the voltage to the coil while cranking?

I would take the guts to autozone and get them tested if your sure its grounded out and all they also have a book that tells the Resistance the parts should have

yeah i guess that would eliminate the distributor than, have you check the voltage yet? also run a jumper wire from your battery strait to the dis and see how that looks

And use a spark tester  to check for spark. It should be able to jump .080"

It will arc from the plug to the block about an inch.It seems to be strong,but I don't know why it is orange.Is an hei suppose to have a blue spark.Maybe I'm going in the wrong direction.

If your battery voltage is weak your spark will be weak but I do believe you are barking up the wrong tree at this point.

Did you ever pull your plug wires one at a time and note the rpm drop as suggested earlier?

Do you think the timing chain could be worn.
