Default no spark and no check engine light.

well this is freaking weird. i was moving the car and i turned it off everything in working order and then i do something else. and when i go back to turn it on to go racing. it dont want to start does get fuel, but i dont think its getting any spark and also i have the 6a msd box and coil but does the box have to be mounted to be grounded? also where are there some places that something might have gotten dissconnected? thanks in advance.

I'd check to see if you have spark at the cylinder. Do this by grabbing an extra plug you have laying around and put it on the spark plug wires one by one and ground it out on something. Crank and check for good, consistent spark. If you don't have spark, that should at least point you in the right direction rather than throwing parts at it. Start at the plug and start going backwards checking everything ignition to solve the problem.
