Trans Am V8 TPI converted to Edelbrock Carb won't start

Hello,

I bought last March a Trans Am V8 original TPI, but the first owner convert it to carb using Edelbrock Carb.

Last week, the engine won't start. I check the coil wires,its ok, check the coil, is bad.

I bought 2 new coils, but replace the bad coil using one of this, and the car won't start. I put the other new coil, but the car make the same, won't start.

There is fuel into fuel filter (the fuel filter is around the Carb), have fuel, have new coil, but won't start.

Any ideas?



Thanks

I'm looking the coil voltage... and into the two wires come from wires package to the coil, (pink and blank), have positive and... positive .

Must be + and -, isn't it?

check fuel pressure to the carb. is it a mechanical fuel pump or the "in tank" pump. what kind of distributor is it?
