Ive got a Fj40 that just wont start!!! The engine turns over ok, there's spark going to the distributor but no spark going through the leads to the spark plugs. Ive replaced the points, condensor, cap, had the coil tested. Anybody out there that can help??

what do you mean by theres spark going to the distributor?

Do you mean you have voltage going to the distributor or do you mean you can get a spark accross the points when you open and close them?

There is spark getting across the points.
