Default Most efficient so,Union to non starting / no spark?

The red ‘69 has been a fun driver for over a decade now.

It has the original distributor replaced with a GM later 70s HEI.

It decided to not start for me.

While in the way of the lift I needed for something else.

Great battery. RobMc mini starter turning like a boss.

Fuel seems to be getting into quadrajet.

Starting fluid sprayed in bowl does not fire.

I got out a timing light, clipped it to the battery and put the lead on a spark plug wire and while cranking the starter get no light activation while holding trigger.

I pulled a wire and put a test light plug on it and no light.

What’s my best, most efficient option?

New coil wire?

Get a new coil and install.

Just get one off the 50$ replacement distributor caps?

Do you really think it's numbers matching all original?"
