Not the coil pack, the pickup coil IN the distributor under the rotor.
I wish you guys would stop replacing coils just because there is no spark. Coils do not fail very often. Spend more time diagnosing and less money throwing parts at it.

You suffer from the samething I do, my fingers are too fat to use a small phone key board to type. The pickup coil is also known as the cam sensor, if it is bad you will not get any spark.
