(copied and pasted from a different thread inwhich i was askin about firing order so the following paragraph is out of context....)

ok i replaced the dizzy cap and rotor and the wire; plugs are still good....and i'm still not getting spark << the firing order distracted me but my real problem is that i can get the car to start up....i tried checkin 4 spark yesturday by pluggin in an extra spark plug into the ignition wire for cylinder #1 and tha car started right up, but i shut it off to pull the spare plug out and since then the motor just cranks and cranks but no fire.....so i got new wires and the distributor cap and rotor but still no luck
