Symtoms of a bad computer

My 95 wont start, dont drive the car much, but last night I went to start up the car and it wouldnt startup, it is carbed, but still use the stock v6 computer and accessories, noticed a couple weeks ago my temp gauge is dead, rests all the way over to the right, (pass the H), and my oil gauge just sits on cold, the only wire I use for igniton, is a red and green wire that goes straight to ign module, and my fuel pump uses this wire also, I ran a wire from the battery and the fuel pump came on, but nothing from the ign, is there anyway that I can get the car running without the stock computer for ignition, will a MSD elimate the need for the stock computer for ign?
