Engine Mechanical problem
1969 Chevy Camaro V8 Two Wheel Drive Automatic

Hello, I'm working on a 69 camaro, and the car will not start. the car was running good. I have replaced the spark plug wires, rotor, elec. spark control module, and the disturbutor. The rotor turns when trying to start it, so i think the timing should be ok, the car has a mallory master coil, mallory control module and a new accer wires. What else could the problem be. How could i test the master coil.

Thanks

O.K. Pull coil wire out of cap crank spark. Are you positive distributor is in correctly? Use a volt meter chek voltage at coil , ign module.
