My bet is bad plugs, wires, or the wires aren't on good. Not only does
the boot have to slide down on the plug, but the terminal has to
click...same on the distributor cap.

I put MSD 8.5 Super Conductors, champion truck plugs, and an MSD Blaster
coil on this weekend. I was going to put my MSD on it, but evidently
the trigger wire side is bad. The magnetic pickup side worked fine, but
I didn't get a spark.
Even so, I have my plugs gapped at 0.060" and it runs fine. Fast, slow,
idle, start, under a load up a hill, in 28 degree weather and 65 degree
weather. It starts easier and idles so smooth now. I can't wait till I
get the MSD fixed and it can make use of those gaps.
