Positive wire on alternator touched metal. sparks and smoke came from ignition coil and module area. Now there seems to be no fuel delivery. Replaced all coil packs ignition module checked fuses all fuses good. What else could it be?

Hello, I am Danny.

You might want to check the fusible link.It's normally located at the starter solenoid or on the positive battery cable pigtail.That acts as a circuit protection device when a major arcing like that happens it's designed to burn out saving the rest of the electrical system from damage.

This guide can help you test for power:
