Did you use the computer from the donor vehicle, when you swapped engines?

My info shows the computer in on the passenger side under the dash, above the kick panel.

Have you lost anything besides spark? Is there an injector pulse with the engine cranking? If you do alot of cranking, you might disable the fuel system.

Hello, I don't know what modifications may have been done to the vehicle, you may not have a computer? Is it computer controlled? If that isn't a feed-back carb, I don't think it is computer controlled.

If all your missing is spark, check the primary circuits to the ignition coil. Is the coil remote from the distributor? The primary terminals are the small wires. I'm trying to picture your ignition set-up, if it isn't factory?
