So, I went to check my timing today and to my surprise my car was running only on the trailing plugs! I check for spark at plugs, leading plug wires, the leading coil wire. Nothing. So I made sure the coil wire was tight. Then tested the coil resistance. All checked out perfectly. So, I'm not getting any power to my leading coil. What do I check next?

Ignitors, maybe?

Swap the two coils to verify its' not one of them.

replace your leading ignitor, its failed. the two ignitors, leading and trailing, are secured to the distributor itself and are J-109's. if the trailing ignitor had failed you not only would not have had spark on the trailing plugs, but your tachometer would not be functioning when cranking or running the engine.

if you need an ignitor PM me, I've got about 6 of them.

It was just the ignitor wire that came loose while i was messing with stuff before. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.
