welp, all of the grounds are clean and theres nothign visually wrong with the engine, the coil was dry and Im getting spark to all of the plugs. now the engine doesnt want to run at all.
Seems the engine just wants to give up, and its not worth getting a new computer. ill just have to swap the engine a lot sooner then I wanted to.

Had you timed the ignition, with the ALDL jumper in place?
Before you give up on this engine, see if you've got fuel pressure... and/or spray starting fluid into the throttle body.[This message has been edited by Patrick (edited 03-31-2024).]

My money is on the coil. I had an 88 act exactly the same with a new coil. Turns out there was a hairline fracture that opened when it was hot and grounded to a mounting bolt. It still sent spark, so it was very hard to hunt down. Saw it ark intermittently in the dark one night. New coil number 2 fixed it.
