Poor Spark?

You said weak spark at "the" plug wire. How many did you check his way?
If you got a hot spark going into the cap, you should have a hot one coming out. Pop the cap and find out where it went. In the meantime put a shot of oil in every cylinder and let it sit for a couple of hours, overnight is better. You may have just washed all the oil off the rings by now.
Also, the new module might have affected the engine timing. She will likely start better with some extra timing thrown at her. You can back it down to "normal" after she's all warmed up.
Good luck.

Oh yeah; you said you removed and replaced the engine without pulling the D. Did you pull the engine with the trans attached? This is a tricky thing to do and not bend/break the D. You might want to pop the cap and make sure the advance system is still operative and that the center shaft is spinning nice and true. Also check the rotor is the same as the one that came out. Sometimes the firing tips are shorter/longer. Look for damage inside the cap to the tower contacts.
One more; you said you replaced the cap, and checked the firing order. What yo did not say is that you replaced the wires one by one or sync'd the #1 plug wire to the Correct tower with the rotor under it, with #1 cylinder at TDC compression. . Just cuz the cap has #1 on it does not guarantee that the rotor is gonna be there when it's supposed to be.

I'll try a the oil in the cylinder.
I did pull the motor and trans together.
I checked the spark at a few different plug wire ends and still weak.
I pulled the #1 spark plug and checked for TDC and made sure I was on the compression stroke (even pulled the valve cover to look at the rocker arms) and matched the rotor tip to the #1 plug wire. I have moved the distributor around to see if it was a timing problem and it still not firing off. It acts as if I had the timing off 180 but I've check and check and had someone check my check and I believe it's TDC and everything is lining up the way it should.


It did sit for a while prior to me buying the donor car and someone else mentioned it may be stuck valves. I have not checked each cylinder for compression. I'm going to do that tonight.
You mentioned the distributor center shaft. How touchy are they? I was very careful when removing the engine but when we separated the transmission from the engine ( out of the car) I had the cap off and the rotor hit the cap as I spun the torque converter to get to the bolts.
It does spin freely and nothing appeared to be damaged in the distributor.
