    I got it to start a couple of times, it was running super rough though. Timing was jumping around.
    Then it quit sparking.

    What I can't wrap my head around, is that the coil is sending power to the middle post of the distributor.
    The injectors are firing.
    But there is no spark at the plugs.
    Where is the power from the coil going?

    Plug wires are brand new all within ohm spec. 1.3k for the wire going to #1.
    There is nothing flowing to the plug though.

    I've seen plenty of other posts about similar issues, but they all don't have an injector pulse and/or no spark at the coil either.
    Has anyone seen anything like this before?
    Could it be an issue with the ECU?

    How can it be closer to a L05? It either has a 305 or a 350.

    That being said, cap and rotor, especially the rotor ar suspects. If the rotor has burned through, the spark is grounding out on the distributor shaft.

    It's a 1995 350 block with vortec heads and a custom burnt chip. Not exactly L05 but closer.

    Let me check for resistance between the middle post and the shaft then. Would that be telling?

    0 ohms from the distributor shaft to the intake manifold. Open loop from the coil post to the shaft.
