No Start issue maybe ECM
I'm coming to the conclusion that my ECM is bad due to the following: I have a 1988 IROC 5.7 TPI. I was racing a couple of weeks ago, when during WOT the car started to feel a little sluggish. Then it sputtered and died, and would not start up again. I don't have spark! I have tried just about everything I can think of. Replacing the ignition control module, coil, MSD box. So unless someone has other suggestions, were can I get a ECM replacement?

You can get an ECM anywhere but I recommend you look on eBay, and or this site.

Thanks guys!
As far as checking the distributor for 12 volts, I'm assuming you mean one of the 2 plug ins for the ignition module. Which one and which color wire?

Well it turns out it was my MSD cap for the distributor. The spring/button inside the cap broke which caused the no spark condition.
