No Start Problem

Guest

Last night, I started the Pantera to test some fixes to the cooling system. Everything ran fine. I ran it for probably 10 minutes.

So this morning, I decided to go wash it. I haven't had a chance to since I got it painted. So it will not start. It just turns over and over. I have traced the problem to the ignition system. I am not getting any spark at the plugs (at least not the two I checked using a timing light). The coil is firing about once a second with the engine turning over. You can hear the engine pick up when the coil fires. What would cause the coil to fire on only one cylinder (I am guessing here, but that's what it sounds like).

P.S. I do not know anything about the ignition system, but it looks stock. It may still be running points. I haven't pull the dizzy cap yet. Thanks.
