Here ya go, try this
The issue is the regular TB-V distributer had bullet connectors coming out of the distributor. Yours does not have this and your not going to replace the sensor yet, so you only want to remove one wire at a time. I'm going to assume you have gone thru the troubleshooting guide in post 14 down to where you are getting 12V on the + terminal of the coil.
Now remove the screw holding the White/Red wire.
See if you have 12V on the wire you just removed, (key is turn ON)
If no 12V, you need to check your wiring harness.
If you have 12V, turn key OFF and reconnect White/Red wire on sensor in distributor
Remove the White/Green wire off the other side of the sensor in the distributor, and do not let it touch anything.
Now take another piece of wire and connect to the sensor location where the White/Green wire was just removed. the other end of the wire should be stripped back bare slightly.
Take coil wire coming from the coil and attach to a gap gauge which has been grounded, of have some else hold it close to a good ground like a clean bolt ofn the motor.
Turn key to ON (don't start)
Now take the jumper wire which was added to the sensor in the distributor and strike it rapidly against the ground.
IMPORTANT - the jumper wire must be struck against the ground at least 2-3 times per second.
If no spark was seen, replace distributor sensor
If No spark was seen, replace coil and run test again.
If still no spark, replace ignition module
