I engine swapped a 98 5.7 vortec in my truck and I can't get spark. The first time I cranked it over, I crank for 10 seconds and I stopped because both battery connections started smoking and the ground on the engine also started smoking so I immediately stopped. I came out the next day and looked at the grounds and I saw I missed the frame to firewall ground so I added one and in total I had a frame to bell housing bolt ground, frame to firewall, and engine to frame ground and today I cranked it over still no spark but no smoke this time. I got my multimeter out and I tested if the coil was getting power put put of the coil and it was getting about the same amount as the battery, and I changed out to a different distributor cap and still nothing.. the distributor that I put in was as far as i know was good i had it in a engine a month ago and i know its timed right. Kinda stuck on this one.
