Assuming all the wires are hooked up correctly and making good contact, I'd check the ignitor. Leading is the one on the front of the distributor, I believe. Search or check the factory or Haynes manual and you can find the test procedure. Alternative is to swap leading and trailing. You can find used igniters from forum members or sometimes on eBay. Alternative is to switch to HEI (GM) igniters. I did a DLIDFIS setup recently with HEIs, and I love it!

Good luck,
David

the leading ignitor is the ignitor closest to the radiator. definatly check that first and foremost.
