      So I was going down the road and the engine just died. No sputtering, no struggling, just dead. It was around 4 or 5k RPM. Now it won’t start or even try to start but it does turn over. I can hear the fuel pump whir on and I took out a spark plug, grounded it to the block and didn’t see a spark. I also took a second plug out to confirm and this time took a wire directly from the negative on the battery to the threads of the plug and still no spark.
      Is my first step to replace the distributor?
