Check the simple things first
Ken Swart Ken Since the car ran a couple of weeks ago and stalled, start here.
Pull the cap and check for a center electrode in the center of the car, make sure it's there. Check the rotor for any burnt hole or loose pin on the cap. I would replace both any way. Make sure the rotor plate makes contact with the probe from the cap.
A quick check is to also make sure the rotor spins when the motor is cranked. Pull the coil wire before doing this.
You have fuel pressure and if you move the carb lever you can see fuel go into the motor. AGAIN have no spark when doing this. If this checks out get a test light and make sure you have a good power and ground to both MSD box and coil. I am not sure what a blue MSD coil is but some of the coils are not meant for street driving applications. They burnt up internally. Here's a start, if this testing doesn't show any thing. he can start with MSD trouble tree. Rick L. Ps do a new cap and rotor first. You may have to change the spark plugs if they are wet or gas fouled.
