1989 Caprice no start...

[tarmin8or]

My Caprice has very healthy cranking, new battery, starter, etc. Has been running great. Went out to start after the weekend and will not fire. Cranks and cranks but no appartent spark. It is getting fuel.

Is this possibly due to a bad "ignition module" or ????

Thanks in advance for any clues or advice on troubleshooting.

Check all distributor connections (make sure they're tight and not corroded).

Have a look at the inside of the distributor cap and look for burned contacts, evidence of arcing, moisture, etc.

If all that looks good, check the coil resistance and replace if outta spec.

Then the ignition module...
