When I checked for spark I first pulled one of the plugs, grounded it against the block and had my wife turn the engine over. No spark. I then clipped a timing light to each of the plug wires and the center coil wire. No flash. I'll measure voltage and do the other checks tomorrow after work and report back. I'll also check the tranny ground strap and try grounding the distributor body like Keith suggested. Thanks guys!
