1982 no spark or fuel
i have a 1982 corvette running fine one day it won't start.
I have no spark or fuel pump. power going in to distributer but not coming out. i hear a buzzing sound coming out of distributer like a back feed. I replace coil,module ignition switch under dash on column, still nothing. i even ran a direct ground to distributer and power line but still nothing.

If your hook your 12v test light to the TACH terminal on the distributor, the light should flash when you crank the engine. That will prove the pickup coil and module are good.
The ECM should command fuel pump on for 10 seconds at key on to prime the system, then the oil pressure switch takes over.
