provided the car does not have a MSD style box, but an electronic ignition, check there is 12 volts between the positive side of the coil and earth ( not neg on the coil)
if it is electronic ignition it may have 3 wires red, black and green.
check there is 12 volts between the red ( positive ) and black ( negative) the green should be on the neg of the coil.
it does sound like you do not have power there.
if you do not have power there,check why, you can 'hot wire' it if you need it running to prove the engine is okay, we can explain that later.
check your ign voltage first.
