no spark to the distributor

I just put a 85 chevy 350 in my 85 chevy camaro. I cut all the computer stuff out of the car and trying to just run the normal wires. The back of the distributor has a electronic plug that I "assume" is all computer stuff. I ran a hot wire from the battery for the dis. and still I cant get no spark to the plugs. I have tried the control mod and the coil so far plus a new rotorcap. But still no spark. Can someone tell me what is wrong and what do I need to do to get some spark back into this baby?

If the distributor you put in it is computer controlled then your not going to get spark to the distributor. The coil sends a spark to the dist at a rate determaind by the computer. So your best bet is to go buy an HEI ignition for a non computer controlled engine. You can probably find something at your local junk yard.

believe it or not I already have one of those. Now there should be no reason to use any of the computer bull with this motor right? I usually work on the front wheel drive cars not the rear wheel so its all unusuall to me!
