But nothing to the plugs. The coil and ignition module have been replaced. I’ve been told to simply replace the distributor, but I’d prefer to know what the issue is before I replace more parts. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks

After all the above basic suggestions... check the ESC, known to go bad on these 301 turbos. Service manual has steps to check it... or contact TTA performance online, they sell a board to bypass the ESC.
