It sounds like your ignition system:

1. Rotor
2. Cap
3. Wires
4. Plugs

If its missing, you have a open or shoted to ground problem. Basically, the plug is not firing for the discribed reason. I have a glow light that I plug onto the plug head and insert the other end into the SP wire. The light glows if you have fire to that point.

Other things to check,
Internal HEI componets
SP Gap / .045
Power to the HEI.

Remember, look for the easy / small stuff first.
