I just went through a somewhat similar experience... Try and hot wire it by running a wire from the positive battery terminal to the positive post on the ignition coil and use a screw driver to connect the solenoids on your relay. This bypasses the wiring of the ignition switch and if it works...
Just a quick update for everyone.
I managed to find the gremlin that was causing all my headaches.
I had a local mopar enthusiast come over and double check my novice work and try to help locate the issue. We were able to hotwire the car by sticking a wire from the positive battery lead to the...

Yeah, I even double checked the service manual to make sure they were the correct wires on the correct posts.

You are correct, it is not firing. I have verified I am getting a nice little blue spark on the points of the distributor though.
All the tests so far has been...
@Bad Sport

Hey everyone,
I'm hoping I can get some insight and ideas as to how to fix my currently not starting engine.

A couple days ago, I was driving to work and stopped by a gas station real quick before I got to work. When I got back out and tried to start...

So last Sunday, I was driving over one of the bridges here in the tampa bay area and had my left rear tire tread blow off the tire at about 80mp/h. Thankfully, it was a steel belted radial so it kept pressure but it knocked a hole into my (admittedly rusty) trunk floor...
Hey yall,
Had a chance to poke around the forums for a couple days after being referred to here from Reddit. Definitely tons of great advice and knowledge and I'm sure I'll be able to soak up a lot of that.
I'm not completely new to wrenches but it's been a been long time and it was just...
