No spark on my 84 Ram.

9.6 is closer to run voltage than crank voltage.
The grond link from firewall to engine can effect ecm operation but nothing else ignition related. Maybe we should check inside the van. Knowing there are 12 volts into and out of the ignition switch will help narrow down the fault.

Right before I left for work I remembered I have a spare ignition switch, so I swapped it out, but it still wouldn't fire. Although I might had cooked the ecm when I jumpered the coil to the battery, so I'll need to test it before I push any further.
