if you have a tach and dwell remove the tach and hook it up to the contacts behind the tach.. if it works the tach could be bad, one more thing the tach pointer should move when you turn the key on if it doesn't check the fuse..I just replaced mine $60 from Upmors corvette parts in texas 254-315-5269

The Tach coil can also be bad.
