A weak ignition coil will most definatly keep the motor from turning over. But 
there is another thing that will keep the motor from firing up: Lack of air.

Unlike a carbed motor, the idle is not controled by the fuel delivery system, but 
by another computer. If nothing else, try bypassing the Idle Speed Motor, and 
run a straight tube between the two connections. Don't worry, the motor won't 
got to WOT. But your idle will be around 2500 RPM though. And don't forget to 
hold the gas pedal down 1/4, to halfway while cranking as well. With a dead/
closed ISM, and closed throttle plates, the engine is choked, and with the K-
Jetronic fuel injection system, you wouldn't even have enough gas to "diesel" 
the motor to even a idle.

It's worth a shot.
