BACKGROUND
I just swapped in a 3550 for the c4 in the 89 in the signature. Prior to doing that I did not disconnect the battery. During the process of removing the starter I hit the contacts a few times throwing some sparks. I also tacked up my crossmember with a welder after adjusting. I have bypassed the neutral safety switch. No electrical connections to the tranny at this time. The car is carbed and obviously no computer.
THE PROBLEM
Now the car will crank, but not start. The ignition is a msd ready to run distributor with a magnetic pickup and a blaster coil. The coil got very hot while trying to start the car and started sounded like it was sizzling.
I am getting power to the coil, but I am not getting spark from the coil.
WHAT I HAVE TESTED I ran through MSD procedures for testing the pickup in the distributor by measuring ohms and it passed.
The + side of the blaster coil has 10.75 volts.
I have replaced the blaster coil with a new one.
I have checked all my grounds to make sure when I welded I did not fry one.
I checked all the connections under the dash from where I did the pedal swap and everything looks good.
Where else should I be checking?
