Still won't start, you guys think when it arked I could have fried the ecm?

For any reason, did you remove the spark plug wires and have them mixed up? Chances are you would have fried a fuse before you would fry the ECM.

Firing order is correct, I didn't remove anything, was changing thermostat and housing, alternator arked on filter box which was still sitting in the carb, there is a sensor on the carb just don't know what it's called. Idk if I messed something up in carb maybe? Car was running perfect before that cause I moved it out of the drive way under the tree to work on it. 😑😑

That's an electronic solenoid and will still run EVEN if you unplug it. Do you have a good and hot spark? Blue ark? If its yellowish it may be too weak to fire.

If your spark is too weak, you may have a bad coil, id start there since its the easiest to change and cheapest. Good luck!

This

Check the fuseable links by the starter. Maybe.

OTHERWISE...

From my experince; fuel, air, spark - still not firing = Bad ground. When it happened to me it was the little wire off the negative terminal to the fender. Spark was there, but not strong enough. Didn't even cough until I found that was not connected. Fired right up after.

Gonna replace coil when I source a new one, replaced cap rotor plugs wires and it fires hard just won't start. It turns and sounds like it wants to start but just won't.

Don't throw parts at it.

Have you done this?

This is "THE FUSE" that will burn if you arc it at the alternator.

That's located on the starter?
