Dist. is back in everything seems right there. But now I am not getting spark from the coil. Would the coil be the likely culprit or that other electric thing????

If you have an electronic ignition, it could be the white ballast resistor. It acts like a dead coil.

also if electronic, check the magnetic pickup gap in the dist with a brss feeler gauge. Should be .008". If the gap is too large--no spark (ask how i know )

Xsnail,
What did you have to do to get it going?
Just wondering in case I have the same problem later.

Ugg. do I have too? It was kind of dumb.

The fusable link had burned. But it did not totaly separate or noticeably go bad. When I touched it the insulation came off very easily with only a few strands of wire still intact.
