hmmm...maybe its the cap itself. i would put the old one back on and see if it works. if it does, then somethings wrong with the new distributor cap. otherwise you hooked something up wrong.
thats the best i can do, maybe someone else has a better idea.

Yeah, everytime I get no spark, it's because the friggin coil died. Call the nearest Kragen or whatever random parts store and ask them if they can test the coil (and find out how much a Haynes manual is too
). I would bet that it is the coil that died.
