yes it turns over, another thing i just checked was to see if i was getting spark. i unpluged one of the spark plugs and check it and i got nothing. its losing current somewhere. still no idea so im on my way to the store to pick up a kit with ignition break points and a new condenser. what do you all think?

i just installed a new ignition control module, on top of cap, rotar, and coil. still engine is turning over but not firing. could it be alternater, or fuel filter or pump. i dont know! you all have been great help anything else you can give me will be much appreciated.

gotta back up. you said points first, now your saying module. So 1st off. do you have a HEI or points style ignition? If points style, change the condensor and set the points.
IF HEI, change the module, make sure its good. have a parts store test it for you. Check to make sure your getting voltage to the cap. If you have to, make a jumper wire. jump from the battery to the bat. terminal on the cap. make sure your coil is good. jim
