check the power to the coil

i would be happy it runs, check the input/output to see if the bypass is putting out correct ohm measurement, and try a tuneup for fuel economy. hope this helps

common problem try rotor and cap, sounds dumb but it happened to me,also check for loose wires from distributor to coil.hope works if not please give more detail's

probably bad incorrect cap/rotor.maybe pickup coil but probably not.pop off the cap look at the brush/contact between rotor and cap, if messy lightly pull brush from cap and also cap use fine sandpaper to clean them, then push brush in till you hear a pop and reinstall rotor & try starting. or replace cap and rotor.

if you have juice from the coil and not out to plugs, trying replacing the rotor and cap.worked for me on my 81 wagon turned out they have more than 1 distributor and the wrong rotor and or cap can keep you from firing, they even looked good but didn't work.

when you get coolant coming out of the cylinders when you have removed the plugs and turned the motor over by hand then you have a head gasket leak or cracked cylinder heads or possibly a cracked engine block.the only fix is to either rebuild the engine if there is nothing seriously damaged like a block or heads or find a good used motor from the wreckers and have it put in.
