I have a 1984 v6 (2.8) carb camaro. My son drove it home yesterday with no problems. Went out to go to town and car would not start, just crank over. i checked wires under carb, all good. I pulled distributor and cleaned, i pulled coil wire and cleaned both ends.I then replaced the coil. I pulled coil wire at distrib. and put spark plug in and cranked over. good spark. unhooked plug wire from spark plug in motor and pluged spark plug in and cranked, no spark. any help would be appreciated

The ignition module was a common failure on those.

No, you can replace the module pretty easily.. ... a couple plugs and 2 screws
