Engine died. Now won't start

With the key in "run" position, therer should be voltage at the coil "+" terminal. Should be less than battery voltage due to the ballast resistor.

If no voltage there, use a jumper wire from the battery positive to the coil positive. Now see if it starts or at least see if there is spark while cranking.

Check the reluctor gap (under the distributor cap) It should be set at .008"
