Can Anyone Help Me??

hi im 16 years old and we have a 55 chevy bel air that has a 396 bored to a 402 bbc and it wont start. We bought all new ignition wires and a new coil. Everything is working correctly. It started for two days then it wouldent start. So, we bought a new coil again and put it in but it still wont start. we have tested the power to the coil and there is power to it but it just wont spark over to the distributer. The plug is new too. And the wires on the coil are on correctly. If anyone can tell me how to fix this i would appreaciate it a lot. Thanks!

have you checked the distributor and distributor arm? if it's not making contact properly it won't provide power to the plugs.

are the plugs sparking?

First clean the points and WD40 them. Replace the capacitor in the dist. You say you have 12 volts supply on the coil + with the ignition on - check that it is still there when trying to crank. YES?
Read the voltage on the other coil terminal going to the distributor. When cranking, your voltmeter should moved up and down or test light high and low to indicate the points are working. YES? The only other thing there is the capacitor tied to the coil wire terminal inside the distributor.
It causes the coil to create the hi voltage spark when the points open.
