Wow..found the solution There was a wire plugged into the coil but itt was strung between the ps fender & the cannister on the firewall
I realize this was a novice question and i really appreciate the help
Dumb query here
Put new plug wire set on & the center wire on the distributor is missing…. (From old set) What/ where does it connect to?

Thanks in advance
