If it is just a simple self contained then running a hot to the distributor wire could rule out low voltage due to shorts, ignition switch, wire harness, fuse and ect. If the distributor has puked its internal coil up after checking that distributor has good ground with hot on then a new distributor is in the making. The k series engine will be a different beast and i would like to respond only when it is confirmed as a K series engine..
