***RESOLVED*** replaced dead battery, now engine doesn't turn over.

@Bad Sport

Yeah, I even double checked the service manual to make sure they were the correct wires on the correct posts.

You are correct, it is not firing. I have verified I am getting a nice little blue spark on the points of the distributor though.

All the tests so far has been by turning the key, not jumping the solenoids (although I do have a spoon handy that has been used to do that).

The spark plugs are all brand new and was the last thing I have put in with no difference in the sound or action of trying to start the car.

Can you give me a little more direction as how to rig the spark gap checker on the coil?
