Make sure it's not grounding out somewhere.

Have you pulled the spark plug out while in the boot, grounded it to the block and watched to see if it got spark when you crank it?

Did the coil you get come as a complete assembly?

Your plug wire is in good shape? Check continuity on the wire to Verify its not broken inside the insulation.

swap plug wires from one side to the other. if the problem switches sides, you've got a bad plug wire.
