ID No Spark issues

I seem to be lacking spark right now and I can't find the problem. I'm going to swap out all the fuses.

uhh also I already replaced everything from wires to plugs again and it didn't solve much the battery I'm using is brand new.

my engine cranks that show on my tach are around 600rpm which was what I had with the original engine and it would fire up after a couple of cranks.

anything else I should check that could cause me a no spark issue?

My suggestion would be to chase wires and make sure you're getting voltage to the coils etc. Have you tried cranking the car with a plug removed and grounded to see if you actually have a spark? You make it seem that you are having problems starting a new engine so the timing may be way off.

So, if you have spark check timing. If no spark check voltages. Hope that helps.

Was the distributor removed while it was on the pallet? It takes the timing being way out to not even try to start. Like being removed and put back in not at TDC.
