I need help with my 84 firebird with an iron duke engine

Hello thank you in advance for your help. I haven't been able to find much helpful info about this. I've had this car for 4 years and for the first 3 it ran decently without much problems but about a year ago I replaced the radiator and water pump and everything was fine for a day or two engine was running great and then I backed out of my drive way and it stalled. Now there is no spark and no fuel at the injector but I can hear the fuel pump coming on. I've replaced the map sensor and the fuel filter and spark plugs so far and plan to put a new distributor cap and a coil in the next few days. What could be causing a no spark no fuel condition? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

No spark, no fuel, no ignition reference pulses. Verify that the HEI module is getting a pulse from the reluctor/pickup coil array, and that it is properly connected.
