No spark on leading or trailing (top and bottom plugs)? Or both?

Start with the plugs and work your way back.

If it just dies it is probably the secondary coil...did the tach die as well??

It is either your secondary coil($20 part) or it is your secondary ignitor($120 part)
Check your coil 1st...and cross your fingers

You can change out the igniters to GM HEI for about $16 each... I'm running them on my '83 with no problems. There are several posts on how to do this.
