360 LA engine crank no start

You'll need a voltage meter to check for voltage at the coil and or ballast resistor. Do you know how to jump the starter relay? If you do you can check for spark with key on in run and with spark plug wire almost shorted you can check for spark with you under the hood. If you have a spare spark plug use that to check spark, just ground plug and you'll see spark and if it is strong enough.
