somebody please help.

so, i just finished getting this thing all buttoned up, test drove the car a couple times, pulled it back in the driveway, and the ign switch binds up. so, i replace the ign switch, and now i have NO spark.

i've metered the power to the distro, and i've got the 12v needed. i've also replaced the coil with a new one, just to test it out. there is something inside the distro thats not working.

the thing is, is that is a brand new pro-comp billet distro with a 65k volt coil.

this is killing me. if there is anyone that knows a lot about an ign system, and is in the north texas area, i will make it worth your while to come help me with it. ie. gas money, food, beer, cash. whatever i have to do to get this thing driving right.

if you wanna help, PM me and ill give you my number and stuff.

thanks a lot

MONEY......BEER....If I lived close by, I'de be your way. Sorry man. I live in sothern Cali. I hope you get your ride workin man. Have you tried a timing light? Call GM or some classic mechanic shop. They can probably help you. Run a diagnostic check using the little box under your steering column. You'll have to search the web on how to stich a paper clip in the slots and also to write down the blinking engine light codes. If there is a problem with a sensor, the ECM will probably tell you.

Re: somebody please help.

Have you checked the voltage while turning the engine over ? If you don't have voltage you may want to check your igniton switch since your cylinder was hard to turn it may have moved .
