When power was applied to ground, the condensor and coil were fried.

Fuel in the intake is a hopeful sign--it is likely that the ECU is OK, or at least somewhat.
So you have no spark, that's a good known point. Time to start checking the distributor. Do you have +12V to the coil? Does the other terminal get shorted to ground and then disconnected as the points open and close? Do you get a spark if you manually connect and disconnect a ground at that terminal? Unplug the tach signal wire (black with purple stripe, the purple fades and can be hard to see; it is thinner than the coil power wire) and see if you get spark after that. If the tach wire shorts out, or if the tach itself shorts out, the coil will never "see" the signal from the points. Keep checking, one step at a time. Isolate and test. Sounds like you're already on the way to finding the problem. (Hopefully it's just one problem.) --DD |
