We got it fixed, the problem was a dead ignition module. We swapped in an 88 TPI setup, which did not have VATS. We tried the original TBI ESC module, as well as the TPI ESC module. Finally, AJ 92 RS suggested we have the ignition module tested at autozone. The TBI one which we were using tested dead, and the TPI one tested fine, so we put it in, and viola, spark.
