1987 wouldn't start the other day during a cold snap.
Pulled no.1 plug, no spark.
Threw another igniter at it, still no spark.
Coil checks out with the fsm
No spark from the coil high tension lead to the dissy when pulled from the dissy and held near ground.

At a loss as electrical is my kryponite.
 
fusible links? and or connections with them?
engine fuse in fuse box?
 
Too much Resistance in high tension cable to distributor?
Interior of distributor fouled?
 
Turned out to be some corrosion on one of the terminals in the dissy pig tail.
I didn't notice it when I swapped the ignitor. Picked up on it when I checked the ohms on the signal generator. Once cleaned, it fired up almost instantly.
