Default Superperformance - Having engine trouble - need help
So I was out driving yesterday after the car sat for nearly a week and the car ran fine for 20 - 30 minutes. I stopped and started it twice and then on my way home it just loss power. So after towing it home, I tried to start it. All it does is crank but it seems as though I don't have any spark to kick it over. Fuel is pumping to the carbs, so I know I have fuel, it's just dropped dead on spark. I have all electric devices working and battery is well above 14 amps, headlights work, fans work, blinkers, brake lights, etc.

I just need some insight on where to start looking to problem solve this.

Roush 427 sideoiler, with MSD distributor cap. I checked all the spark plugs are tight and in place and the distributor cap is tight. All battery cables are tight, all electrical connections to the Holey Carbs is hooked up.
