Answer
John,
No spark or pulse, that usually means the dist pick up is bad. Unplug the wire at the dist and use a test light. One terminal should have power, one is a ground the center one is the trigger, when you touch that one key on do you hear the coil spark and the a tick from the injectors? If you do the pick up is at fault.
