    Battery cables are good, and it cranks over. Pulled cap and the rotor is turning, but there is no spark coming out of the coil

    Ok, I checked the power running to the coil and there is power there, so I guess Auto Zone sold me a bad coil. Going to buy a new one and see if that does the trick! I'll let you know how it works out.
