my rig has been sitting for about a month.the last time i had it running the the key was left on once it was shut down(bat was very low)last weekend i tried starting it and got nothing.its definately gettin gas.i figured leaving the key on burned the hei coil so i replaced it.still nothing so i replaced the ign module.still nothing.got really pissed and went out and bought a known good used gm non computer hei dist and put that in.still nothing.working by myself it was hard to tell if there was spark at all,i just assumed it didnt because i know its getting gas.tonite i had someone else crank it and sure enough there is plenty of spark.i figure now the only thing would be the dist i put in was way out so i pulled #1 plug and checked the rotor position at tdc once i knew the # piston was coming up.it was fine pointing right at #1 on the cap.now im really at a loss,ive got gas and i have spark.if the timing is off its only slightly and i have the dist loose and tried turning it as i cranked.\
what the heck could it possibly be?it ran fine before the key was left on and the batt went dead.any ideas at all would be greatly appreciated.
oh yeah its a bigblock chevy gen 5 502 with a holley 750 ,electric fuelpump,and a non computer hei dist retrofitted in my 76 cherokee.no fancy wiring either just 12 volts going to the bat terminal on the distributer.
