Thank you Art. i do have the green book and spent from 9:00 till 3:00 taking out the whole ignition harness looking for problems after following the flow chart to the end step of checking the ground at the intake manifold. I moved the wire a little and the car started, drove it into the driveway to investigate the harness more, shut it off, pulled the distributor because the "delicate" plug socket was broken by the shop. Made some metal brackets to hold it in. put it all back together thinking for sure it would start. It did not and i am going to go out again and go over the flow chart again to see what i can find. Thinking of researching an aftermarket ignition system like MDS.
