No start/pertronix Options

[drbill]

Well, I decided to do a major service on this car. 1974 2.0. I've adjusted the valves, replaced the spark plugs NGK BP5ES, gapped to 0.028, replaced the distributor cap, rotor, spark plug wires and installed a Pertronix ignitor.
I've double checked to make sure HT leads attached for proper firing order, battery is charged. I removed #4 plug wire and plug to check for spark: got spark.

Any help? What's a logical sequence to troubleshoot?
Thanks,

I used the spacer that Pertronix provided. 0.030 I think.

I did nothing to the fuel system, all injectors plugged in. Gas in the tank.

I'll fiddle with the dizzy, but since wasn't moved, should not be a factor???

Even if the pertronix comes with a bracket that uses the original hole in
the plate, I'm not sure they put the magnets and sensor in exactly the
same places relative to the cam. You need to check the timing with a
timing light the normal way to double-check. Once you get it right it
should stay and you won't ever need to worry about it again.
