    I went on a parts buying frenzy and bought a coil ignition, alternator, batttery, igntion control module. I wasn't getting any power before that so i figured that would help but its still the same deal. Any Suggestions?

    Where are you not getting power?
    If it is the whole system check your grounds.

    What condition are the battery cables in? I had a problem a few years ago with one and, even though the battery ground cable still looked good, it was bad. Replaced pretty much everything before I figured this out. And the other question is the same as the last post. What all are you not getting power to? Of course even with the bad cable, I still had power to some of the electrical stuff if I am remembering right, but not enough to power the starter. It kinda acted like the battery was dead, even though it was new also. Kinda need more info to give you a better answer though.
