It sounds like it's the coil, ignitor or the pickup coil in the distributor. To check the pickup coil, disconnect the green plug leading to the distributor and ohm it out. It should read between 140-180 ohms. The ignitor gets kind of complicated to test but try this out first.

if the distributor is ok, i say its the igniter... mine went out, and all was missing was spark.... we tested the distributor and coil and they were ok.... so we knew it had to be the igniter... which sucks because they are $300 new!
