getting no spark

okay heres the low down i was drive my fc on a street called monroe(bumpiest road ever) to get home right, and then all of the sudden my car shut off, like died, so i tried to start it, and it started but idled ruffly. then died again, and everytime i try to go drive it will dying and push no power. so i looked into it, and was looking at the plugs, fouled, so i clean them and tryed again. and fouled, and now its not firing up anymore, so i checked the spark and im not getting any spark from the leads, and im barly getting spark from the trails. so what im thinking is maybe it has to do with ground. my batterys was relocated behind the passenger seat. so this is how my grounds go... engine to chassis engine to another part of the chassis, and battery to the seat bracket. im not sure if im getting a good enough connection or what, but thats just my thoughts. and the car was running great before it died it was just kinda all of the sudden.

i already checked connections, and wires, plugs hoses, etc. and im not getting sparks. so if anyone has an idea for what i can do it would be greatly appriated. or if theres a part that could gone. sorry for writing so much, this is like the fourth time the fc broke down this summer.

make sure that you check all your fuses first. ive had a similar problem like that before check to see if your crank angle sensor is any good...(distributor) thats what happened to mine after i did an engine swap.
