Check inside the distributor cap. Make sure the spring loaded piece that makes contact with the rotor is still in place.

Forgive me Patrick, I don't think the LT1 has a distributor cap. Optispark?

Oops, sorry... I was just responding to the info in your post prior to mine. I forgot about the LT1 swap.

Do you have spark at any of the plugs?

I've only checked one plug.. but the engine does not turnover . So, I am assuming none have spark.

No Spark can be any number of things... best to work backwards at that point, could be anything from a bad ignition coil, to a bad ignition control module, to something else on the distributor like a bad pick-up coil or who knows what. I can't remember... did you say whether or not you had any computer codes?

Hello all,
A bit of troubleshooting yesterday. It looks like I do have spark. I was able to confirm this using a spark plug spark tool. Although, I think the spark was weak, but the battery was a bit low too.
I also have 40 PSI of fuel pressure. Not sure where to go from here.
Any advise would be appreciate.[This message has been edited by str8maxn (edited 05-14-2024).]

Need clarification here. Does the engine not turn at all? Or it turns over but does not start?
I assume you don't have a service manual for an LT-1 Camaro/Firebird. Do a google search and download a service manual for the year of the engine. Then follow the troubleshooting chart available in the manual.
Edited to add: See example from 96 Service manual:
