Since you have a wireless dist. Check the lower plate to make sure that the upper plate has not gouged it and is grounding. I never had that problem but some have.
And for the ca me into the dist. You only need to thread it in a few turns until you get contact. After that you risk the grounding issue.

Thanks! Will check those and in some of the other testing I have 'maybe' eliminated the lower plate and wire into the distro as I took it back out for now.
I will add the battery to my list to look at tonight. With a bad ground would the starter even work?

Correct, pretty much everything was fried, the coil in the car is brand new now. Not saying its eliminated from being issue out of the box, but it is new.
