No spark. Thoughts?

Changed out radiator . No start after. This doesn't make sense. Checked for spark. None. Swapped out coil wire. Changed cap and rotor. What's to look at next?

Is the king lead / coil wire secure at both ends - do you know if there is there a spark from the inside of the distributor cap to the centre of the rotor?

Assuming it is cranking - if not, could it be as simple as a loose battery lead?

Yep, doubled down on the coil wire. Cranks well, no problems there. I am just thourghly confused as to what I could have possibly pulled off in just changing the radiator. Car ran fine before. All I pulled off is the airbox and the dist. cap.

Check the rotor and set screw.
Did you unplug the AFM connection?
AFM air intake swinging "door" --is it stuck? Moves freely?

and finally, when you crank the engine, does the tach bounce 1/16th on an inch?
