An easy way to see if the ignition system is functioning would be to remove the coil wire from the center of the distributor cap, attach a spark plug and aly the body of the plug on the engine, preferebly away from the carburetor (is it carbureted or fuel injected) and then have someone try to start it while you look at the plug for spark. If there is no spark start looking at the Unilite and ignition box. If this sounds "Greek" to you; call a good garage before you go any further.
