Have a 90 Corsica with a 2.5 in it got it running a few weeks ago and drove it around for about 10 minutes parked it then came back a week later. Now it won't start and no spark and it's not spraying fuel into the the throttle body. You can here the fuel pump run and I havent done anything else to the car. I unplugged the clips to the coil pack the one with two wires should be a power and a ground right? Well neither have power to them.

Are you leaving the stock bumper bracket or what are other ideas this is my first corsica build Thanks Need more info. Rules? Are you talking about bumper shocks or the brackets? If it is brackets they go in the trash even for a stock show. They will fall off and loose the bumper.

BUMPERS:
Bumpers are interchangeable. You can weld bumper brackets and towers to the frame. You can weld bumper brackets and shocks to the bumper. You can weld shocks to shock towers. You may trim bumper ends or fold them around. Welding on the bumper skins together (chrome to inner liner of bumper) is allowed. When welding bumpers, shocks and brackets – do not add any metal. Weld shocks and brackets solid if you wish. Weld them well; we don’t want any bumpers falling off!
Bumpers may be welded to end of frame with no added metal, just use the welder. Rear bumper may have 2 straps, 2- chains or 2-wires (4 loops) from trunk deck or tailgate to bumper (not frame). You can only have 1 of the 3 used, all 3! Straps can be up to 3” wide and no more than 5” on the bumper and 5” on the trunk or tailgate. Straps may be up to 3/8” thick. You are allowed wire from radiator support to front bumper in 4 locations.
Here's my rules for bumpers what do you recommend

I would hard nose. With shocks in or on the frame. Slightly off topic, but I think that is the first time I have seen shock towers mentioned that much in a bumper rule.

Went nose to nose many times with the 1st place Pacer. Was overheated but still running. Eventually popped a cv from to many neutral drops. Was a 3.0/auto.

Did you use all thread in the back to suck your trunk lid tight to the floor

Yeah. If you look close enough you can see it in the pic. I did another beretta the next year and only went about 1/2 way. Rear packed the same. Going that low was not necessary.

My stock one pushed straight in right behind the bumper shock. If it had been a 4 cylinder car I would have run it again.
