not sure if it will help but...

I would disconnect the coil from the dist..connect one side of an ohmmeter to the coil plug on the dist...and connect the other to an end of a spark plug wire lead...I'd rotate the engine around and see if the ommeter registered a completed connection being made. That way you would know if your rotor is connecting the coil to the plug wires..

Maybe bad ground or something of that nature?
