I replaced my harness on my 86 recently. My no start was a result of hooking up the harness incorrectly. It's very easy to mix up the plugs near the distributor. I had three wrong!!! Once I got those in place it fired right up. I can't remember all the details but the plug with the blue tape goes to the throttle body. That got me started in the right direction. I'd verify this before you go changing anything as it is possible to do some damage with incorrect hook up.
