Mac,
Without know what the symptom are it would be hard to recommend the necessary parts. Would suggest a module and a coil and look at the cap and rotor to see if they need to be replaced. Always do parts search as a 1975 or 76 Oldsmobile Toronado
AZ Module part numbers DR100 and the AC Delco model is D1906
AZ Coil Part numbers C833 or C834
Ask if it just quit or was backfiring out the back, check to see if fuel is in carb or has no spark. No spark would be the first choice.

Would those places have the likely suspect parts and if so what part numbers (if possible).
