Well here is the story. i was driving on the highway the car started overheating so i depressed the clutch to slow down and let it cool and the car just shut of. I just cruised down to a gas station with the car off and ever since the car has not turned on. I tried push starting it and still couldn't get it to turn on so i had to get it towed to my house.
I checked all the fuses and and all the relays. I read in a forum that when the car over heats the distributor goes bad. i checked it and it threw a spark so i went and bought a used one. i changed it out and now it doesn't trow a spark so i put the old one back in and it still doesn't have a spark so now im clue less what to do

Inspect/test the main relay and look for battery voltage at black and white at the distributor connector.

Do you have a repair manual?
