just wanna make sure of a few things..

do you have the plug wires in the right order... not to insult your intelligence.. but after what you described, there should be any reason why it wouldnt fire..

it doesnt even try to fire? no putter or nothing? just dead cranking? sounds like an electrical problem..

Have you removed the dist. cap to see if the rotor is turning when cranking? Broken distributor/gear maybe?

yea i didnt catch that he had spark from the coil to the dist. but no spark from the dist to the plugs... i would agree with fiveltrbtr... a busted dist. not letting the rotor turn.. or the incorrect rotor,,, or an incorrect/busted cap ..

I got the p.o.s fixed, it seems although the coil was putting out a good spark it was not hot enough, put a new coil on and it fired up.
but the 383 will still find its way into the engine bay soon.

thanks for the help.
John
