Ok-got my fresh 19 year-old engine turning over just fine (did you know that the starter speeds up a lot if you connect the tranny ground strap?). Got fuel squirting in all 4 throats. Got juice at terminal 15 of the coil with ignition on. Won't fire at all. Took dist. cap off, turned on ignition and opened and closed points with tip of a screwdriver. No spark at all. Condensor lead is attached to #1 coil terminal and to points. Help Please! I REALLY want the hear it run (and maybe even go for a drive). Distributor, points, condensor, rotor and cap are new Bosch 050 direct from the box.

Points sometimes have a film of oxidation on them. I used to wipe them on a piece of cloth before installing.

do you have juice out of the coil? then go to points then check the spark at the plugs.. good luck

Completely off the topic of ignition!

my15window - I can't help but read your tag. Sounds exactly like my mom!

Do you have spark at the plugs?

Thanks all for the help. As usual, operator error. Next time I looked I had spark at the points. Still wouldn't fire. Appears someone had the distributor 180 degrees out (could that have been me?).
