Hi Im new to the forum and am having trouble with my 1984 gsl 12a. 2 days ago I got it started after being sat for about 9 years and was running alright. Yesterday it started up no problem, but today it wont start! I checked plugs for spark, the trailing are not sparking but the leading are? Both coils are getting power to them. Any idea where my problem lies?
Any help would be much appriciated!

Try swapping the ignitors around on the dizzy, then see if you end up with spark on trailing but not on leading. If so, then find another ignitor. 84-85 cars will not allow the fuel pump to run without spark on the trailing. Hope this helps...

, it is the ignitor thats the problem! Cant seem to find where to buy a new one from though, anyone know who sells them?
Look for used ones. Either at the junkyard, or in the for sale section, ebay, etc.
