Help needed here... really badly...

Ok, Ive got a 1988 T/A 305 TPI, I just replaced the heads with L98 Aluminum heads. I removed all emissions stuff, replaced my, spark plug wires, ignition module, and rotor. Everything is hooked up, the motor has been gone over tons of times. Here is my problem, the motor cranks, but, doesnt start. The head scratcher is this: I get 12 volts into the coil, and NONE out! I just replaced the OEM coil with a MSD Super coil about 1 month ago, I had the OEM coil laying here, so I tried it. Same thing.. no spark out of the coil. I thought it was the ignition module, so I just replaced that. Anyone have any ideas at all? This is driving me insane... please help!

check one thing then post again there is a fuse on the driver's side fender for the ecm in a pigtail check that first(orange wire)it most likely will be the problem.if not go through the setup again check the coil and module

Well, my car is in the shop now.. which pisses me off, because Ive never had any problems like this before.. Im going out of town for a week, and the friend of mine who owns the place is cutting me a good deal, so It should be done when I get back.. Just for the hell of it, Ill post what was wrong with it.

If you come back and tell us it needed a new engine we'll know if you got taken for a ride or not! Just kidding. Good luck...
