trouble shooting no spark, heres what I got so far:

no spark on either leading or trailing coils

12v to both coils b/w wires

12v from ignitors

tach not working (trailing)

what miffs me is both trailing and leading are not firing.

any takers?

Ignitor, or both of them, odd for both to fail at one time.

The only thing common to both the leading and trailing ignition is the cap and rotor. I would double check that.
