Default Curious problem and misunderstood

I have a 1979 Camaro with an LS6, procharger, long tubes, slightly modified painless wiring. Put 1500 miles on car. All of a sudden can not start car. Motor turns over, no blown fuses, relay's are good, crank sensor signal is happy, cam sensor fine. Only code is P0102 and that's pending.
pink wire has 12v on it. Ground is run to the block, heads, frame, body. PCM out of 99 Camaro.
there nothing at the coils. Car has 56 pounds of fuel at the rail.


I have been reviewing threads all over the net, some make sense while there do not. For example one person their car ran after grounding, the PCM case.

Thank you all in advance because I know this is not a new problem.

Make sure all grounds are solid connections.

Default Idiot of the year

Yup, I'm receiving a wave from the judges. One ground had broken. It was behind the engine. Why I didn't look sooner I'll never understand.
at least it's running again.
Thank you
