So Im at the last stages of my first motor swap right now and I've finally gotten things right where they should be. Motor turns over but we're not getting a spark from the coil pack, i know this because my redneck uncle plugged an old spark plug wire to it and a screw driver to the other end and held the metal end of the screwdriver as I cranked it over. He mumbled somthing about a Moduler in the distributor or the crank shaft sensor needing to be cleaned. Does this sound right or do you think the beer was starting to get to him ?

 

Cam sensor in distributor, and the crank sensor is on back of the motor by tranny dipstick tube. Did you install it? And more importantly, did you remove it when installing the motor? It gets damaged if you don't.

 

crank sensor was taken out and switched while doing the motor swap, good chance it was damaged because my cousin put it in after the motor swap was done. So should I just buy a replacement from nappa or somthing ?

 

did your cousin use a spacer when he put the crank sensor back in? If the crank sensor isn't at the right depth it can cause issues. You should be able to pick up a spacer from a dealership.
