1973 Dodge Dart Sport 340 Cranks but will not start

Our Dart has no fire at the coil. No power at distributor connection cranking off or on. There is power at the positive coil terminal. There is power at the ballast. The ballast, ignition module, coil have all been replaced. The electronic distributor has been removed and replaced with a Pertronix distributor wired directly to the coil. All wiring has been testing for continuity, there is no apparent problem, the car will not start it has no fire. It will not start in crank or on position. The car started and ran, started at least 10 times and ran for about an hour (for 20 minutes while breaking in the cam at 2,000 RPM.) The car was turned off and the temporary Holley carb. was replaced with the original thermo quad which is pumping fuel. The car never started again. Please help anyone. Thank you so much. how are your iginition wires routed to the coil?

just throwing an idea your way, im not too familiar with mopars. but i had a similiar problem on my mustang. the ignition wires are routed along the intake over to the coil. long story short, when i installed and bolted down my carb, i pinched one of the wires inbetween the carb flange and the intake flange.

Used to be a white relay on the firewall that would interrupt the starting circuit. It's been about 20 years since I worked on one of these, and I am not sure if you wired aroun
