Can you get someone to turn the key while you hold each lead close to the engine in turn? I know you said you couldn't see a spark inside the lead, but you really need the end of the lead to be close to an earthing point to see it arc.

Also, was it wet/humid when the car was last running? Did you go through any puddles? Pull off the dizzy cap and give it a spray with some WD40/wipe clean with a dry cloth to ensure there's no moisture trapped in there. It could just be some condensation trapped in there. Another member had a similar problem a few weeks ago I think...

You are confusing this poor guy and he does not sound too mechanically minded. MATE DO NOT MIX PETROL WITH SPARK for god's sake. Mate try and get someone who knows what to look for to look at it for you. We do not want any disasters on our hands.

Did you have the spark plug in the lead, then have the head of the spark plug on the block.
