pendles - He said he has a new Coil

I suggest the Hall Effect Sensor in the distributor

YEah, first place would be to check for spark, a nice clean blue spark.
Failing that I would be testing for fuel pressure.

Engines have been the same since the turn of the last century, they need air, fuel and spark to run.

great spark at the plug leads or the coil lead? I'd whip the dizzy cap off and check the hall sensor hasnt fallen to bits.

Another possibility is the factory immobiliser - what is the flashing red light doing when you go to start? is it off or on? if its on or flashing... try starting with another key, or alternatively turn the ignition on for by memory 45 mins which will then disable the immobiliser and allow you to start it.

Can you hear the fuel pump come on for 2 seconds and then turn off again when the ignition switch is turned from OFF to ON?
