85 pickup with 22r battery hooked up backwards

the other day my dad was swaping batteries in the dark and hooked up my battery backwards. It blew a few fuses and the starter wouldn't turn over. After replacing a fuse, the starter will spin but the coil doesn't have a spark.

What all can be wrong here? are there other fuses other than big one I replaced? Could the coil be bad now?

Its probably a fusable link not sure where exactly they are located on you vehicle.

I have changed the coil with no luck. Before, i had spark up to the coil.. I changed the coil, now i have a spark all the way to the ignighter.. I have got a new ignighter on the way..

i had the exact same problem, its not the coil
its the igniter, its the square thing under the coil.

it costs a shitload of money over 400 bucks. the cheapest way to fix it is to get a msd ignition system. unless you can find a used one at a wrecking yard. they are extremely hard to find used. makes me feel bad, about 3 years ago i found one at a wrecking yard. i wish i would have snagged it now.
