Default spark in none out

97 6 speed lt1 383 accel opti w/30 minutes of use, This is what happend, my freind was cranking I noticed the coil wire arking on the valve covers and water pump so I told him to stop. I repositioned the wire and tried again this time as he was turning it over, I seen it arking again then it quit and it spun like it had no spark, tried it again no spark at all, checked everything even repalced the msd. The coil wire has fire going in to the optispark but its not reaching to the plugs, keep in mind every thing is new mabe 15 miles on a fresh 383 (freinds car). Tryin to keep from pulling the water pump off but thats where we are I think, but really need some more insight on this thanks

Default

Either the rotor came off or it is shorted out.

Time to pull the opti.

I found this out the hard way at a light in front of the ford dealership
