My guess is a bad ignition module.

Have you tried swapping your old coil back in just to eliminate the possibility of the MSD coil being bad?

No I haven't but I will double check that

You can buy a remanufactured 'Cardone' brand complete distributor with the ignition module also from Monument Car Parts or one of its affiliates for less than $100.~; usually in stock also.
Not much more in costs if you buy from an O'reily or Autozone. GL [patriot]

hey bro did you check to see if there is really no spark spark? or are you assuming, how about fuel? are you hearing your fuel pump when you try to start? did it just not start all of the sudden or have you done anything else to the car recently, if you end up havin spark spray some break cleaner or any other starting fluid through the throttle body see if she want to fire that way [patriot]
