How do you wire a bobcat coil?

To wire the coil in a Mercury Bobcat: The + terminal goes to the "run" prong on the ignition switch. The - terminal goes to the points and condenser. The middle terminal (the one with the fat wire coming out of it) goes to the center post on the distributor. This is how you wire the coil in any car that has points and condenser. The Bobcats that are little construction machines have diesel engines in them, so there's no coil at all.

Why are you not getting spark in your 1981 Chevy 350?

Many possiblities. It depends on if you have a coil or an HEI ignition. If you have a coil, check your distributor to make sure your coil wire is attached properly. If your coil is attached, unplug it from your distributor and hold it close to the connection while someone cranks your engine. If you do not see a spark, your coil is bad. If you do see a spark, your rotor might be bad, or your points.
