    Ok so here is the situation as I left it today.

    My problem is no fuel and no spark.

    -Fuel pump is turning on

    -Lines are hooked up corectly

    -If I test the plug for the coil I get 12.5v on one side and 0 on the other two so there is power at the coil

    -I have tried grounding everthing like a mad man

    One question right now I have the main ground wire grounded to the engine block. Can I leave it like this? Or should it be on the motor mount?

    I searched other peoples problems and tried them but no dice.

    I need some input on things to check please help!

      Did you ground the one coming from the motor mount to the frame?

                  Still no spark or fuel. Where does this wire go? It runs parallel with the main power wire. Does it get grounded or hooked up to power?

                      Dude, ETMs are available free online. You obviously havent even bothered looking at one before beginning the swap. Its really not that hard to trace the wires back to their origin or pin on the connectors.

                      As time went on, the factory developed the car each year, making it faster, more comfortable, and capable of handling at higher speeds.
                      You don’t want this. You want the trickiest, most dangerous, oldest model you can find. Only then can you prove to the world that you’re a man.

                          Fucking search man, this shit is getting old. Everything you've asked now could have been found either on this forum or elsewhere on the internet. And if you had a bentley, you wouldn't be posting the above pictures.

                                This is also a power wire that is hooked up to +12V, but it is protected by a 50A fuse in the trunk, called a "fusible link". Should there be a ground fault somewhere, it will blow and protect the electronics in the car. Normally people will power the DME through this lug.

                                I am fairly certain you don't have to do anything with that plug. Maybe some folks that have done the conversion with an E34 harness will know better.
