Dang, that thing is burnt up, but you knew that.....By starting I'm going to guess it spins over just won't "fire up". I'm going to bet the coil wire is not "seating", making good connection to the new coil. Do you have a spare wire?

EDIT: to confirm, see if you have spark "at" the plug(s).

 

is that the new or old coil? and when was the last time you changed the wires? also, is that dielectric grease, or build up? id clean up the coil wire connector, if it doesnt start i would exchange it out for another, or put the old one back on. also make sure the connector to the coil is connected properly. also on my car the coil wire fits tightly and i had to push firmly on it until i heared it click

 

when i turn the key ... total silence.

No spare wire ... i can got pick one up and try it with new coil?

The interesting thing is that the car started yesterday and i did not see it until I was tracing to find the coolant switch.

Once I replace it with a new coil ... total silence when I turn the key.

the car wont turn over at all, no lights, door/belt chimes nothing?, did you remove the battery cable? ive done that before, and forgot... ill check the pic again and see if i can see if there may be a culprit.
there is some suction when putting the wire on, just brush the gunk off from inside the wire connection an push it in until you here... click, i have a full set of old wires. if you were around the north east id donate it to you...

 

okay ... thank you very, very much guys. i tried what phatboyslim2012 say to do and push the coil wire tightly into the coil and the the car start again. THANKS!!

On to the original thing. The coolant switch i have on order.

Poorman212 ... you mentioned that you had an idea what else could be wrong. was it about the coolant switch or the coil?

....with phatboy, sounds like the different testing and that the battery has gone, got a charger or can you give it a jump?

 

Well never mind on my last post, you and I posted almost at the same time....

 

you should notice a definate improvement in your car since you changed the coil, if you use the car make sure you only take short trips in cooler weather until you get the switch, you dont want to over heat the engine to much

 

just out of curiosity. is there something i can remove to get to the switch easier? It is really buried under the distributor.
