Default Possessed Car finally Dies

My car officially has a f&*^in ghost inside of it. She finally died. The car will crank but wont turn over. Im gettin fuel and the coil is shooting out spark. (I found out the hard way and shocked the heck out of myself). However i am not getting spark to any of the spark plug wires. Could this be that the distributer is bad? What other test can i do before replacing the distributer? Any advice will be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Sounds like a bad TFI module...

Take off your cap and see if your dizzy is spinning then if thats spinning change your cap and rotor then see if your getting spark to the wires might just have to do a tune up to it to make it run right?

Did you put wires back on in the right spot?

It sounds to me that you should just tear it down and rebuild the motor

check your tfi and stator, if they were in the that year car, the TFI module is on the passanger side fender, and your STATOR/magneto is in the distributor under the rotor.
