I forgot the name but there is a module inside the dizzy this can fail giving no spark, can you try another dizzy, also try new rotor arm as cheap and these can look ok but not work.

There's an ignition amplifier module (think its called that) thats mounted next to or on the coil. Its square-ish in shape with a cable plugged into it

best way to check it is to put each injector into a bottol and test the the end of the ht leads. then you will know if it is sparking and fueling.

dnt know if this can be done but im shure ive seen it on a tv program somewhere lol

I did not think fuel relay would be the problem, spoke to a mate to check the dizzy you need a power probe or scope to confirm this is working ok which you won,t have ,the module in the dizzy is the hall effect sensor this could be defective or a wiring problem , replace the cap and arm if still no joy you must try another dizzy. low tension feed to the dizzy at the negative needs to be 3ms pulse so this is why you need to try another dizzy sure this will sort it.

mate try this, get a piece of wire cable, connect one end to the positive on the coil and the other to the positive on the battery then turn it over and see if it starts. had the same problem with mine after a rebiuld, never had a spark or fuel. may not be the same problem as you but its not hard to try mate. let us know how you get on

Double check the crank sensor, might be time to get a auto electrician to look at it.
