Well I,m back. I got the 86 to crank over but it will not start. The SECURITY light flashes while trying to start the car. The SECURITY light also flashes when the doors are open. Is the alarm tied into the VATS system? I got a lot of usefull information with my last post. Hopefully you guys can continue to lead me in the right direction.
Thank You.

Start with the basics -- fuel and spark. Do you have fuel pressure? Does the the fuel pump run for 2 seconds when you turn on the ignition? Have you done a spark test to see if there are some?

Thanks for all the info. I finally found the "no spark' problem. It was a NEW part from NAPA that I installed in the distributor. The small harness with the condenser in it that goes from the module to the distributor cap. When the part was manufactured they did not strip the wire before crimping the female lug on the wire where it plugs on the module. I stripped the wire and put on a new lug and guess what, fired right up. Thanks again for the help.
