To check the pickup coil in the distributor requires an ohm meter. It should read between 400-1300 Ohms. Disconnect the distributor from the MSD box. Insert the test probes into the connector at the distributor. If you are in that range you should be ok.
With that said go back and be sure that the distributor is pointing to #1 when #1 is at TDC on compression stroke (line up timing marks) after finger is "ejected". If all this is correct and functioning AND you have fuel, it will run.
