Test the coil via instructions in the FSM, if the coil is bad your going to get no spark. If coil is good, check the igniter. First check grounds for coil. If this all checks out, post again.

Check you're cap and rotor first. If the cap isn't clipped down straight, the rotor eats the contacts in the cap. Then clean all the connectors from the dizzy to the coil and swap the coils to see if the trailing one is dead. If all that fails, swap ignitors.
