Can you test if the HT current is getting to the distributor?
eg can you take the lead out from coil to cap and rest on engine. Then turn over engine & ask assistant to look for spark. Don't let them hold it!
If sparking then the problem may be your cap, rotor arm, spring loaded contact (cap to arm), or points.
My info may be a bit dated however!
Write back how you go on.

Is there a smell of fuel, if not then either the Immobiliser is not giving you access or the crank/flywheel sensor has failed thus no trigger pulses. Check the connections and measure the resistance of the sensor, from memory the last one I tested was 400 ohms but I will check when I get home. Regards Peter
