no spark after r&r
 
I removed my oil pump and distributor on my 83 zx turbo. this was running good before r&r. after i reassembled no spark. I Have checked everything. no spark. If it is a ground issue, what would be the likely spot? does anyone have any thoughts? Ecu seem ok.

I think you left out a few details... :)

So, literally the ONLY things you touched were the fuel pump and distributor? Never disconnected the battery? Never unplugged ANYTHING else?

#1: Check for power at the coil: With key on, is black white stripe showing 12v?
#2: Is distributor base plug and round black harness plug securely connected?
#3: Is coil bracket securely grounded?
#4: Is ecu green light on?

I'd say you either left something disconnected, or blew a fusible link. :)

I had put a gasket between the distrubutor and the engine. i thought maybe it wasn't letting the dizzy ground. after removing gasket no change. Going to keep you posted. have not found it yet.
