Alright, new situation. I AM getting fuel. Just no spark.

I blew the new ignition module after I hooked it up. I don't know how. I got a spark until I hooked the coil wire up to the dist. and then nothing. Got it checked and it's bad. Could it be the distributor that's bad?

I did check the fuses in the interior box near my left foot. I think there's a 15amp engine fuse there. It's good.

I just don't know what would have caused me to get no spark and no fuel like that...

Had my HEI module tested today and it turned out bad. Replaced it with another. Checked for spark and it sparked. Hooked it up to the dist. and tried starting the car and nothing. Pulled the coil wire again to check for spark and I had none. I thought I could smell fuel but my friend said he couldn'...

Tried starting my car today and got nothing. Pulled a plug wire, no spark. Pulled another, no spark. Pulled the coil wire off the dist. and laid it next to the strut tower bolt. Cranked and got 1 spark the very first time then absolutely nothing for the next hour and a half of working on it. Checked...

Holy beautiful day in Kansas! About freakin' time. I could actually feel my fingers the entire time I was digging into this. http://img26.imageshack.us/img26/5513/resizedimg0335lx2.th.jpg http://img172.imageshack.us/img172/5605/resizedimg0337ul2.th.jpg Now, looking at the module in the picture it's ...

It's not a problem. We just got more ice tonight and it's supposed to snow again...talk about ridiculous! Wish I could afford a nice heated garage

Very nice. I did a test on mine around a month ago and I was at 150psi across the cylinders. I didn't think it was horrible for nearing 170k miles.

I swear I haven't forgotten! The weather has just been a little...inclement. As soon as the weather permits i'll get the pictures for you.

I can't say for sure the exact month, but I replaced the fuel filter this last summer.

Yep, but thank you for posting that. It is appreciated

EDIT: I've always used carb cleaner. Have alot on hand back home as a cheap wasp spray...lol

I've ran a couple bottles of injector cleaner through the car within the last few months, and i've also used Seafoam. I did a tune-up very recently, less than 3k miles ago. Air filter was changed around 10k miles ago. It snowed tonight and it's only supposed to be 3 degrees tomorrow but i'll change ...

It snowed today so I wasn't able to get pictures.

Anymore ideas folks?

I just went to O'Reillys and asked for a GM HEI module...think it was like $14 dollars. Pretty much any auto parts store will have handfulls of them in stock. As far as the electrical connections, I have a couple tackle boxes stocked with a variety of different kinds. Bet you could pick up everythin...

Drove all over town and can't find anywhere that's not "enriched" with ethanol. I just went ahead and filled up with 89 instead of 87 since it's "supposed" to have less. Doubt it's worth the extra 10 cents per gallon but oh well. As far as the idle speed, I can't find anything un...
