Sorry if I was not clear. It does crank over, no spark off coil. As I said, the car ran great one minute and now no spark/start.

Thanks

well, if its no spark from the coil...i would think it either a bad coil or ignitor. or low primary input voltage..?

OK... Nothing showed up in the testing. Put a second new distributor in the car and it started right up. Ran great. Drove for 10 miles and after shutting car off it would not start again. Engine turns over just fine. With the first new distributor, car turned over but no spark. After replacing only the distibutor it started just fine. Same thing is repeating itself and I am at a loss as to why. It is a little costly to replace the distributor every time I want to start the car....
Any ideas?
Thanks,

I would very thoroughly and carefully inspect the wire harness running to the distributor.
