1985 305 Firebird not starting.

It is carbed and I see fuel squirting into the carb. I cannot get any spark when I set the number 1 plug near the manifold and try to turn it over. So no spark means?


One day it just stopped starting with no prior signs of bad running. It turns over but has no spark I guess.

I replaced the
Cap
Rotor
Coil
Spark Contrle Module
and cant think of anything else.


Please help
THANKS

since you've changed the moduel, which would of been my guess, you might want to check the ground from the engine to the frame

try checking cap and rotor. when I bought my car it ran fine for a month then started running really bad almost cutting out. this hapend out of nowhere. turns out the cap & rotor had about a 1/4" of build up on the contacts. remember check the simple stuff first.

sorry didnt catch that you replaced those parts. try the coil wire to cap, check all fuses. maybe cap is cracked double and tripple check simple things. good luck.
