I have an '86 that am having the same issue. Cranks but no spark. I thought of my dist being 180 out cuz of what I read on here, and the number one plug wire IS 180 oppostite from where my previous engine was. But, if I pull the coil wire out of the distributer cap, to check spark, I get nothing. Wouldn't the coil still spark? I put a volt meter on the plug that goes to the distributer wires, I have power there, but no juice at the pos and neg side of coil. Any thoughts?
