No start situation

You have 12V at the coil, so I would not suggest running jumpers. Jumpers are good for a quick check but can also cause damage if connected incorrectly

Okay, any other suggestions could it be distributor related? If so how do I check?

Need to better understand the orange spark and make sure its orange. Even orange should ignite gas. Can use a spark plug from the coil to ground but it would be better to use a spark gap tester. Can set it up and see if its a good spark

That's a cool tool never knew those where a thing.

This would show that I have a good gap? Or good spark? Or both? What should the gap of the plug be? I can easily check that again just to make sure.

Want to see if the spark is steady as motor cranks. Should get 2 sparks with each revolution. Crank it a good 10 seconds and see if it stays constant. Should jump 0.40 easy enough even though your plugs are .35. Should also be white or Blue

Well I have 12 volts on there. So the switch is fine.

Make sure you have 12 volts while you're cranking, not just with the ignition switch "on".
