Re: Rolls but no fire....

Sounds like the infamous grounding problem.  Check to see if there is a
ground running from the battery to the bolt on the back of the head
where the coil is grounded.  If there isn't one, add one.  I had the
same problem with my 87 when I bought it.  It starts the first time
every time now.  Before it would crank and crank then finally sometimes
start.
