Soon to give up....

Hi all.
I've spent several days trying to start the +2 after winter storage, but no success.
Car is fitted with Luminition ignition.
Gives a weak spark to plug #1, nothing to the other three. Petrol is getting in.
Have fitted a new coil, still no change to the sparks.
Have talked to several people here in Norway, and I ended with me removing the Luminition thing this weekend, and fitted a distributor from another old Ford engine.
Still, only a weak spark on plug # 1, nothing on the other three.
I'm soon to give up the whole damn thing..
Is there anything else I can/could/should do, before I take the car to a garage? Or sell it real cheap as a donor-car for somebody...
Luckily, Caterham works well, though it was a bit cold driving to work this morning; -3 Celcius is cold to the ears and fingers...
