How did you check spark? Are you confident that it's sparking the same way while you crank?

No distributor control or crank angle sensor or similar type wires dragging on belts, or anything like that?



And, r3b, your ecu is fine, it's some combination of things you broke.
Sorry been away, surgery does that. Yes timing is good, no chain jump, tension is great.
Exhaust reeks of fuel lol so since I have heated o2 sensor it does pop some.
Not sure how to test the distributor cam sensor angle, since it's internal, but I am getting spark. I tested with an in line spark tester. There are some wire near distributors but the go into boxes, dead end and we're like that when it ran. Only other thing I can think of is a permanent short in the 20 yo wiring that I haven't found. And wiringspecialies.com don't make a set for this stock car, I know it's stupid.
