I wasn't getting any spark so I replaced my dizzy and module but am still not getting spark,what else can be my problem.

Did you tighten everything down inside of the dizzy seems there was someone on here not to long ago that installed a new dizzy and was getting no spark but something in the dizzy wasn't all the way tight. If that isn't the case make sure the dizzy is spinning.

Thanks,yeah I double checked everything and also made sure my dizzy is spinning. Am getting spark from the coil but not from the dizzy could it be my rotor or cap.

I turned the key and it fired right up. Had to re-adjust the timing again. So if anyone in the future is replacing the stock distributor with a new one make sure the module is tightened all the way down.

I wouldent think so if it is brand new. The quote above is what the guy fid to fix his issue hopefully this will help you?

If you're getting spark at the coil then it's either the cap, rotor, or wire going from the coil to the dizzy. Does the spark look strong (blueish) at the coil?

Yeah the spark looks pretty strong at the coil, am gonna go ahead and make sure everything is tight and if it still fails I'm gonna start with rotor then cap.

Easy thing to start with is the coil wire, unless that's what you're using to test the coil itself. If that's the case and you're getting good spark at the end of that wire, then yea cap and rotor are pretty much the only things left.
