Now the issue is the following:the problem is she turned off on me and wont turn back on its not getting any spark.i dont know if its the coil or distributor.

Your input will be greatly appreciated.

Define drilled rotors? If that means they have holes in them... then I'm guessing previous owner or whoever modified this car knows nothing. Check into your battery relocation set-up.

On a side note/question... you got offered this car and now she wont start up for you? So you bought it? Probably the reason he sold is because he screwed something up and doesn't know anything about cars and couldn't fix it... even though reversing the failing mod would prob get the car running how it was before.

Your title is "cranking problem" but you say it has no spark. Does the engine turn over? If not, have you tried to jump start it?

TRUTH, although I don't want to get into a big discussion like I have before. Anyway there's also not a big need to know your mods for a no fire issue.

Anyway it can be anything to do with your ignition, coil, pickup coil, bad wiring, electrical plugs, etc. Was any work done to it recently?

I have not bought the car yet. The car cranks but wont turn on. The guy says he hasnt done any work to it lately. A jump wont work and spark plug wires are in the correct place. The description i left above is exactly what he posted on his ad. I havent gone to see the car myself.
