Also, trace the ignition wire from the cluster that goes from the column, to the coil, then get a test light and test to see if the wire has a break in it somewhere. Happened to my old Commodore, so I cut and grafted a new wire in it's place, and it worked from then on..

Had a simular problem on my TG, ended up replacing the coil and ballast resistor and the problem disappeared.

Check the fuel level in the carb window. The electric pumps stop when the alternator is worn out - but not while you're cranking it over.
