My new, old engine with 75k miles for 600 is not running Options

[deeeggoh]

My new, old engine with 75k miles for $600 is not running it was running but then the fuel pump went out , a new found friend installed it but anyway he said the engine was running good but then he tried to start it ....it cranks.....and cranks... no spark i did the old screw the coil with a screw driver 2 check fo spark but there is no spark ...... he had to go do some stuff.... i think i read someone say maybe the condenser in the distributor could cause a lack of spark or the cap or the top... anyone got any ideas?

it doesnt crank slow but theres like no juice going and they said the rpms would jump if it was a fuged up distributor and the diagram said it could be a fuse a relay or a vehicle speed sensor

its located between the tranny and the engine ... who would have guessed? ah i hate it when you shoulda done it your self haha o well i didnt have a torque wrence or much time so o well thanks dad

i know it sounds weird, but the vehicle speed sensor circuit is tied into some other vital systems for some reason, i know it ties into the alternator circuit....but i didn't know it was tied into the distributor as well.

it could be a bad cam position sensor?
