No fuel is being injected and a bad tranny.

Pretty cut and dry.

Did you actually drive this car, or is this someone else's project that you picked up?

I would guess that the shifter is not properly installed (I once had a tranny not go into 1st or 2nd do to the shifter being very badly alligned.)

The lack of fuel could be due to a fuel cut switch that the car's previous owner installed to help with flooding.

I hope this helps some.
