86 Camaro no spark

I picked up an 86 Camaro that needed a fuel pump. It would run when you put gas in the carb. I put in a new electric fuel pump and after I did that I had no spark. I took the fuel pump off and still no spark. The car is a wiring nightmare so I’ve cut out and replaced a bunch of bad connectors. Any suggestions on a good place to start?

I had power at the distributor then the next day I had nothing (didn’t change anything) this morning I went out and had power again. Im thinking maybe a loose ground somewhere? Or a bad connection I haven’t seen yet?
