Disconnect the wire/wires from the + side of the coil. Connect a jumper
wire from the + side of the coil to the + side of the battery. If you
get no spark, the problem is in the ignition (coil, distributor, etc.).
If you get a spark, the problem is in the electrical side.

Subject: Still no start
Thanks to Rick at HT Coatings for the clarification on the two red wires
to
the voltage regulator from the harness. I have repaired that and still
could
not start the car so I went through a progression of changing something
and
then trying to start the car. I changed out the coil, rotor cap,
distributor
and still no starting.
I tested all the fuses and verfied they were OK. All electical appears
to be
fine.
Any other suggestions? Secret safety device that will allow the engine
to
crank and not start? I had not had an issue like this where everything
worked
and the car would not start. I had the fusible link at the ammeter
issue, but
nothing would work when that occured.
