Sheesh.. Why does everyone always say to check the distributor.?.. You said that the distributor is getting power. And I believe you. But here's another question.. How much power is it getting.?... It needs at least 9.6volts.. And if it's not getting 9.6 volts.. Your battery either has a low charge or is in the process of sulfation.. Meaning it's not putting out enough amperage to turn the starter.. Have a shop do a load test on the battery and load it to 130amps. If the battery can put that out, your battery is still ok. Hope that helps a bit.. Let me know how it goes..
