Any coil of that style will work.
There are other igniters from 6-cyl motors that use the same signal as the
2F. All the igniter does is turn the primary circuit for the coil on and off.
IIRC there was one from a late-80s Buick that was like $10. Good parts
house will be able to x-ref.
Always check your grounds. 99.999% of all electrical problems are bad
ground, or started out that way.
Check the ground on your fuel cut solenoid. Make sure it's clicking with the
key on. (This sounds familiar.)
Disconnect the soft fuel line coming out of the fuel pump and put it in a
clear, fuel-safe container. Crank the starter for a few seconds. Should put
3-5 ounces of fuel into the container. If not, it's a fuel delivery issue.
Reconnect the fuel line. Drip a few drops of fuel into the carb. Crank.
Should fire up, sputter and die. If it does, you have spark. If not, swap in
a diesel.
