    I changed the pickup module, dist. Cap and the rotor now my car won't start?
    I have spark from the coil wire to the distributer but no spark from the distributer to the spark plug wires. Why?

    Incorrect rotor or distributor cap? Short? Distributor cap not seated on the distributor housing properly? Spark plug wires not fully seated in the distributor cap? High resistance in the spark plug wires--replace if you have over 60,000 miles on them.
