I've already some searching around and none of which I've tried has worked. New coil and new distributor. Power to both wires going into the coil. I have an inline tester and no light coming from the glass as I crank the key. Funny thing is when I let off the key you are a flash of light for a second and that's it. Little lost.

Same thing. Get flicker of light out of the tester for a blink in the beginning of cranking and a blink before letting off cranking
