I inspected the wiring to the distributor and found a small pin head sized piece of wiring showing through on the plug that plugs into the white Chrysler distributor. The top piece on the distributor is new and grounded properly. I retaped all the wires and still nothing. I tried checking for spark and couldn't see anything coming from the ignition wire to the dist or at the coil. I switched out the coil and still no go. I switched out my ecu in the engine bay and no change.
The main pump is not coming on when I attempt to start the car. I read in the archive the following.
"You must determine if it's missing spark or missing fuel. (Of course, when the spark quits, the fuel automatically cuts off.)"
Is this why my pump is not turning on? I jumped the intank pump and it works. Does fuse 7 in the 83 jump the main pump? Tried to jump it and nothing. The 25 amp fuse is new although I wonder about the holder.
I know I heard a shorting/spark when moving the wires around near the distributor. What would that short out. All fuses are good. Sorry for the long posts. I don't want to change out the pump. Thanks in advance.
