Ok guys, I have a bit of a problem.... while changing my clutch and flywheel, my cousin put a block of wood in between the cam gears to prevent them from turning while I was torquing down the flywheel..... Big mistake.... Somehow, the flywheel and the crank turned while the belt and the cams stayed in place..... now I was afraid to start the car because of the possibility of it being out if time.....

So anyway, we bring piston #1 to tdc and the timing marks are almost lined up.... Not perfect but close.... so we try to start the car.... The car is turning over extremely fast and even backfired but it would not start..... something told me to take a look at the fuel pump fuse that I have wired in so I did and it was blown, so we're replaced that.....

So we decided to do a compression test to see if I bent any of the valves.... This is a 6-bolt motor mind you, the results were 150psi across the board.... a little low if you ask me.....

But now, I am not getting any spark to ANY cylinder..... im thinking of it being a fuse but I don't know where to check....

Does anyone have any sensible suggestions that can help me out or point me in the right direction?? I need to get this car started.....
 
150 is not bad, 164 is the standard value. Could it be the coil?
 
thats what i was thinking.. but it was working perfectly before i dropped the tranny so im not sure why it would go dead all of a sudden....
