No spark and I am brain dead
OK, here goes, I have a nova that is third gen underneath. It is a speed density L98 with a T5. I am running a 730 ECM and a big cap HEI and a 6A. I was driving when my car stopped running. It restarted after 45 seconds of inconsistant cranking and I drove it to a friends. Now it wont start. Fuel is good with good pressure, however i have no spark. Ecm threw no codes. I replaced the module and coil. Still no spark. Any Ideas before I throw in the towel and take it to a shop?
Ah, Yes I am new. This site has been helpful before, But I could not fire back questions, so I joined. Any Help you guys could provide would kick, umm, yeah.

I am using an in-dash ignition switch. I do have +12 volt keyed power at the distirbutor. Thank you for the idea.

Have you checked the wires going to your ignition box? You might have a bad ground.

Disconnect the 6A. If you stil have a no start, begin troubleshooting the ignition system. IIRC someone (Trickster?) has posted a troubleshooting chart.

Ok, the distributor crapped out because bad things only happen to me when I am 500 miles from home. The fix is in. Thanks, guys.
