 Ok here's what i've done so far...

Car used to run then one day just spluttered and stopped. Couldn't get it to start again. Since then I've replaced the fuses, the blaster ignition coil, the plugs.

I have compression and fuel but no spark. I pulled out plug #1, manually lined up the marks with TDC, checked in cylinder #1 and the piston was right there. I turned the engine over and there was no spark at the plug.

I did read that you should take off the dist cap and loosen the clamp to wiggle the distributor and check for spark with the ignition on. Can someone tell me how to do this? Not sure where the clamp is that I should loosen?

thanks a lot!
