Car does't have spark.....won't turn over
Well my GTUs is basically done except that we do not have a spark.....the engine will rotate........I have fuel going to it but there is no spark....I pulled the sparkplug and there is no spark....... the car is running off the turbo abd the battery has been relocated to the rear....My guess is that A) we lost power to the coils sometime after relocating the battery or B)the coils are not ground properly...... I have looked at the manual that was borrowed from another forum member but I cannot figure out how to troubleshoot it and get it running. Any Ideas? The car is in Milpitas, CA if anyone wants to lend a hand......I have worked the entire weekend to get it ready and I am so freaking close.......

take off your coils and sand down the paint around the area they are bolted to so they have a good ground. Also check to make sure you have this ground (pic) It under the coil pack closer to the driver.
Let me go find a pic

I cant find a pic. hallers has one. This ground is basicly a little gold thingy with 6 prongs that goes into a 6 slot plug. The gold thingy is bolted down to the car.
