Okay, I am totally stumped and dumb-founded. My car hasn't run for at least 2 years. I replaced the three port fuel pump with a new 2 port pump. The car is a '73 1.7 with stock fuel injection. I replaced fuel lines in tunnel with stainless steel lines at the same time. Tried to start, just cranked and cranked. It is getting gas to the injectors, but I could not get spark. I replaced the coil with a new one. Pulled lead from distributor and placed near the engine tin. Cranked the engine over, no spark. Car ran fine when I garaged it due to leaking fuel pump. I need help to figure it out. I even tried starting fluid and no go. Hasn't even made an attempt to fire.
