check your coil wire for contiuity with voltmeter, if you have a crack in it, then it won't have continuity, or try a different coil cable.
Also, check the coil output by connectin a spark plug into the end of the coil cable and hold the plug against a good ground, DO NOT TOUCH THE SPARK PLUG WITH YOUR HAND!!! if you hold the plug with your hand and your coil works, you will be SHOCKED WITH A FEW THOUSAND VOLTS!!! disconnect the fuel pump and crank the motor a few times. It is important to disconnect the fuel pump so it doesn't flood your cylinders with gas.

Do this at your own risk...
