PLease Chime in I'm not smart enough. 1987 LX 5.0 found under a tree for a LONG time. Added a gal of gas. Came with newish wires and plugs installed correctly. I can smell fuel albeit very alcohol smelly. Turns over awesome. No Spark. Bugged out coil per Haynes manual (plus spare coil) Replaced TFI ignition module. Checked all six fusible links all ok. NOW WHAT???? My 82 GT seams so much easier. Any help would be greatly appreciated. This is a T TOP car with strut tower and floor pan rust. I'm keeping the sindles, 24 inch seats and rear end for the 82. Everything else is up for grabs in northern Vermont. Please Help bring this pony back to life. Greg:bowdown:

I assume you checked the cap/rotor? Pickup in the distributor could be bad also. Ditto with the primary ignition, though the duraspark isn't exactly known for failing.
