Hey,Mike...I remember putting a Accel super coil in my 77 F-250 truck and with the coil came a ceramic resistor...like the old Mopar's have (Maybe the new ones too,I don't know)...anyway...when/if that resistor "goes"...the car won't start.Hey,maybe it's something that simple...it usually is.Is that distributor new? or used?...if it's used...it could be the Magnetic pick-up in the distributor...I had one of those go,too...when that "goes",from what I remember,the vehicle will act like it's getting no fuel...and the motor turn's with some force,too!!.But,won't turn over.Hope this helps!
