Be sure that the ignition wire goes to the - on the coil goes to the key and the + goes to the distributor. If you have an ohm meter check the coil. You put one lead on the + and the other on the - terminal. You want about 1.5 ohm. If all checks out Maybe hotwire the coil and see if spark improves. Neg batt. to neg - coil and see if you get better spark.
