We're thinking it's the coil. My dad came to look at it and I wasn't getting any spark out of the coil. So I'm picking one up either tomorrow or Saturday morning and swapping it in

Yeah were going to see if the coil is getting power and then go from there. It's cranking over but not firing as of last night. And let me tell you waiting for a damn tow truck while it's raining with no doors sucks

Welp sensors all checked out with a multimeter. Found a blown fuse under the hood replaced that and she lives!! Albeit running like ****. So tomorrow morning I'll be replacing the distributor first since it needs to be done anyway and hopefully that will solve my issue. If that doesn't solve it then I'll move on to the next link which is probably going to be the coil. Hopefully I can get it all figured out since a bunch of guys are having a local car show tomorrow and it's mostly going to be lifted tricks and jeeps
