No spark, but coil and distributer are good?

Just wondering if ou've resolved anything yet. The more you update the more it sounds like what I went through only to find that, like I said earlier, it was the 25 amp spade type fuse. 2 months ago I would not have been able to explain this but, what you have to remember is that the spark going from the distributer to the plugs is controlled by the ECU which, electricly speaking, comes in line after the coil, or something like that. So, if your getting spark from the dist. to the cap as I was when I was dealing with this, if your hall sensor isn't functing becuase the 25 amp fuse isn't allowing juice to get to the ECU which controls the hall sensor, then you will not have spark at the plugs.

In many ways I miss the HEI distributer I installed in my 63 Chevy Nova. No, AC, no PS, no computer. Things were much easier to diagnose on that thing when they went wrong.
