the car always had trouble starting cold but after it had run for a little while would start up every time. After parking it for the night I try to start it the next day and it only cranks. I have tested the plugs and there is no spark, cleaned up the distributor and rotor arm and replaced the condenser but, still no spark. The battery has charge and is putting out 12v and all the fuses are intact. I am not sure what to check, not the most knowledgeable about cars either, I would appreciate any help. Thanks!

I'm not sure where the coil is. it was not where it was stated to be in the manual I purchased for it online, and where is the ignition start?

we only show a 240 not a 180 so you may be outside of US. there are two different systems one with a distributor an done without need to know which one you have.
