Check your coil with an inline spark tester. If no spark to the distributor check for power to the coil. If power to the coil but no spark then coil is bad. If coil is sparking the problem is in the distributor. If no power to the coil trace back the wiring to the power source (battery voltage) Check the points to make sure they're gaped properly & not burned or corroded. Check cap & rotor while you're in there also. while the cap is off turn it over and check to see if the rotor (shaft) is turning.

Does a amc 304 and amc 360 use the same crank shaft?
No, the AMC 304 and AMC 360 do not use the same crankshaft. While both engines share the same basic design and dimensions, the crankshaft for the AMC 360 is longer and has different stroke specifications, resulting in a larger displacement. Therefore, they are not interchangeable.
Where is Number one on the distributor cap for a 304 amc 8 cyl?
On a 304 AMC V8 engine, the number one terminal on the distributor cap is typically located at the 5 o'clock position when the cap is oriented correctly with the rotor pointing toward it. To ensure accuracy, it's best to confirm the position by aligning the engine to the top dead center (TDC) of the number one cylinder on its compression stroke. This ensures that the ignition timing will be set correctly.

What is the firing order n a 1991 eagle premier 3.0?
Actually, in 1991 AMC/Eagle had a production cutoff where the early 1991s had a regular distributor, and the late 1991 models had the distributorless ignition system. Another source indicates that only the Canadian models had the regular distributor type system. So... depending on whether you have the distributor type or distributorless type, the firing order would be: Distributor type system: 1-6-3-5-2-4 (distributor rotation is CLOCKWISE) Distributorless system: 1-2-3-4-5-6
