We have a new coil, battery, plugs, wires, cap and rotor button. We measure 10vdc at the coil inlet with ignition turned on and 8vdc while cranking.
We are getting NO spark at all from the coil wire that goes to the distributor. We have confirmed a good ground on the coil.

What next?

Thank you.

You need to test the distributor pick-up coil, check the air gap clearance and the ignition control module.

Where is the distributor pick up coil and the ignition module in this vehicle?

Thank you.

The distributor pick up coil is in the distributor and the ICM also check the ballast resistor-see below
