SO LIKE YOU HAD SPARK WHILE CRANKING?

ARE YOU CERTAIN YOU INSTALLED THE DISTRIBUTOR CORRECTLY???

WHAT SORTA STUFF HAS BEEN MODIFIED OVER THE YEARS?

I FEEL SURE I CAN GET YOU THRU THIS

EXPLAIN YOUR "TEST" FOR SPARK.....AND THE "SPARK AFTER IGN IS OFF THING"??

WHAT'S THE VOLTAGE AT "POSITIVE" SIDE OF COIL WITH THE KEY ON?

CAN YOU SEND PICS OF YOUR ENGINE...LEFT, RIGHT, TOP VIEW---AIR CLEANER OFF---HOOD ON WINDSHIELD FRAME---OUTSIDE LIGHT.........I AIN'T TOO DEMANDING AM I???

OH YEAH!.....A PIC OF YOUR JEEP TOO!
