Well today I put my distributor cap and rotor back on. Thing is now it won't even start-up. All the plug wires are on right, the distributor and rotor went back on very easy. Could the coil be bad?...is it not grounded properly? I checked and rechecked the ground for the incap coil and its connected like it should be. I gave the rotor spring that connects to the cap a little more of a bend just incase it wasn't connecting. I also pulled a plug and reconnected the wire..cranked it and there was no spark.

Anything else I should look for?

Oh by the by the starter is doing its job, its getting gas, it just doesnt seem to be firing.
