Hey Actually I am have the same Problem as that guy was . I Have been helping a friend of mine He recently bought a 1970 VW Bus and It won't start either. So far we have replaced the starter(which was broken) the distibutor Changed to pointless spark plugs distributor cables and even fuel filter. When he first got it the car was not able to run but we had gotten it to turn over three times and since then nothing everyday we try to get it started Could the coil be the problem? Thats all I can think of.
