i have an 6 cylinder chevy engine inboard and can not figure out why it is not firing. the engine will spin over but no fire from the coil to the distibuter. i really need some help here. the boat ran fine but has been sittin for about six months now and having these problems. any answers? i purchased a new coil and distributer and points and still nothing. i have also replaced ignition swith as well

might wanna check the ballast resistor or the resistance wiring if there's no B+ on the coil's + terminal...
 
thanks makomark. if i run a hot wire from the battery to the + side of the coil and spin it over and it fires then it may be the ignition switch correct?
 
if you checked the list Bondo was kind enough to provide and they are ok, I'd put a voltmeter on the primary side of the coil before I'd put a jumper wire on it
