cap, rotor, spark plugs and spark plug wires.. cost around %100 for all those together... should work, car will run amazing, like new... its basically a full tune up... start with cap and rotor if you are tight on money tho...

if that doesnt work, try your starter/ignition coil...

where exactly are you not gettign spark?

just test if you have spark to your coil first... take the plug wire that connects of the coil to the distributor... crank the car.. got spark? if you do, then its a problem with your spark plugs and wires...
