My car listed above (classic) turns over but will not start. I changed distributor ignition module and it's getting low spark or no spark at all.

Good evening,

The spark system is made up of the module, distributor pick-up coil, and the ignition coil.

Did you check the rotor to be sure there is not a hole burned through it?

I attached the procedure for testing and replacing the pick-up.
