New Ignition coil, rotor, and distributor cap, but no spark. Need help.

I had the exact same thing happen to me and after exhaustive ground/wire/coil/ballast/ all the usual suspects came up a no go it ended up being the pickup in the distributor.

What ECU box are you running OEM style or MSD? If it's an OEM orange or blue box, just find a used one and test it...

Ahh, does that pick up say when to spark? Perhaps i should go get one of those? I thought that only controlled the spark advance.

ECU is a black box with a mopar stamp on it. The PO installed it(who knows when), because obviously a 66 valiant would've had points otherwise.

You said to test it. How do you test an ECU? I could go ahead and test my own and see if its good.

Well, on the bright side of all of this, i'm totally going to have a brand new ignition system.:laughing:
