No spark, tired of buying parts

[Cjinthemist]

I have an 86 CJ7 . It has a weber carb, and a new motor(AMC 258 i6 / 4.2l ). I have replaced the distributor, the distributor button, the ignition coil, and the ignition module.

A week and a half ago I got in my jeep and might not have let it warm up ad long as I should have. She made it around a mile before she shut off going down the road. Once she stopped, she would only turn over. I have tested for spark and have gotten nothing.

I started doing the nutter bypass, but stopped after splicing the wires because I started to reAd that it was for the original Carter carb. Thoughts on if this would work?

Also, since I have started fixing her, or throwing my money down the drain, I've noticed my radio won't turn on. That was until I was messing with my fuses and tested my lights. I realized that the rAdio now only works when the headlight dimmer is on.

The fuel pump is working. Anything else that will help with a diagnosis, please let me know.

I appreciate all the help.

Bad grounds Id say. The lack of warm up has nothing to do with it dying and I believe the nutter is for stepper carbs only although when you run FI you basically do a Nutter bypass. Turn the key on and see if there is 12 volts at the coil on the + side,if not there is one problem. Is the wiring all stock or butchered up?
