Spark at coil and distributor but no spark after plugs installed and crank at key

Make a mark on the outside of the dist where the #1 plug wire is. Then pull the dist cap.

Then rotate the engine by hand till it is on tdc of the compression stroke, the ballancer Mark should line up with the 0 on the pointer.

Rotate the dist till the rotor is pointing to where the #1 wire would be, lightly lock down the dist.

Put the cap back on.

Then try starting with a small amount of fuel down the carb.
Bingo, did what you said and now it idles, thanks a lot. It doesn’t fire right off so I will have to start digging into that but at least it runs now. I’ll get the timing light out and try to dial the timing in as well.
