Ok, i turn my key over and the ignition module on the firewall clicks, and then i get power to everything else, and yes there is a wire running from the coil to the distributor.

i checked my power wires going to the coil, they had power getting to the coil, but the coil isnt sending any to the distributor. so i figured that its the coil.

a few months ago i had to drive the car to work, this was after i had swapped engines, and i used a crappy set of plug wires, car ran great for 10 miles and had plenty of power, but then all of a sudden it started spudering and missing. so i make it to work and lift the hood and my coil wire is arking off the coil. a dude at work just so happened to have a short spark plug coil wire to go on it and it stopped the arking after i changed it. and the car ran better, but my rpm guage was out of wack 1500-3000 rpm over, the car has been parked and only driven maybe 15 miles in the past few months. but my dad said that i had fried the coil with that crappy coil wire. sorry for the story but maybe it will help.
