With the key in the "run" position, unplug one side of your ballast, and probe the wire with your test light, if that wire has no power, unplug the other side, if that side has no power there is a wiring issue,, if one side has power but the other does not, then it's a bad ballast. if both sides have power, then plug it back in, and check for power on the "+" of the coil. If the coil has power then, crank it over and check for spark at a plug wire.

I am on the far northeast side of Houston. If you need help I can load up some tools and parts and we can gat that thing running.

Okay I just checked it and the coil has power on both sides of it - and + my test light came on with the ignition turned to the on position. The distributor cap thing has a rust hole on it the big cap where the spark plugs come out is nice and dry and looks good underneath.
