did you install your 255 walbro at the same time as the coil??? if so check to see that the pump is getting voltage and has a good groud for the fuel prob....then check for a short to ground on the primary side of the coil......if you have power to the coil but no spark...and you recently fried your prievious coil...you must have a short to ground somewhere on the coil primary side (power to coil and ground, not coil to distributor wire)...use a multimeter if you have one....good luck!
