was doing an engine swap and probably messed up something. can you guys tell me where i should start looking? all fuses are good. also i have one of those screwdriver looking test lights (it lights up when it has power), will that be ok to use? thanks for your time.

 

Start looking around the dizzy? Is the coil hooked up correctly? Are both plugs hooked up a the base of the dizzy? Is the dizzy fully seated? There are literally hundreds of possibilities here. If its nothing obvious, there's still the possibility that your Ignition control module took a dump or the coil got cooked.

 

is it possible to install the coil incorrectly? like upside down or something?

 

I don't know how creative you are

my best guess would be that the module is bad, but I would hate to see you throw money at something when there is just a wiring issue.

 

I agree with razor, i had the same issue and posted my results, it ended up being a bad ignition control module, just mark your plugs, take off the cap, its held on by 2 philips head screws, once the cap is off the module is going to be staring right at you, again 2 more philips head screws, i went to advanced auto, military discount, i got my module for 35 bucks. when you put the module back in make sure you put the silicone stuff at the bottom of it, screw it back in. connect the wires, put the cap back on put the sparkplug wires back on and start it up.
