I drove my car to the shop to tighten up some things. Then when I went to start it up and leave she wouldn't start. My ignition module got really hot and my coil burnt up some how. So I replaced it with another canister type coil. Im getting spark at the coil but when I put the spark wire on it i dont get spark. I also replaced my cap and rotor on my distributor as well. I am all out of ideas. I dont know much how the electronics work yet. Please help me if you can! Im in North Dakota and I am moving to Arizona in a month and I need this car road worthy asap! Thanks guys!

Did you test your Stator? inside the distributor maybe it got fried. cheap easy rebuild.
