Subject:      BUS-electricals?

I've rebuilt the engine on my 78 bus, and now she won't start, I've been woking on finding this problem for several months, but no success. well, here it is...

It won't start, I get no spark, I get no voltage on the #1 ead(to the coil), my fuel pump doesn't run when key is in *on* position(not start...) and, I've tried every book I can, and the elecrical system somewhat (pretty much) matches that specified in the VANAGON, 1980-1982(I think) factory service manual's for a 1980-'82 Air Cooled, AFC injection controlled model. No diagram for the '78 is correct!!

HELP! I've been working on this since last summer! Noone here can help me, if anyone can offer ANY(YES ANY advice, I'm EXTRORDINARILY GRATEFULL!!!!!)advice, or has had this strange(to say the least!!) occurence happen to them please let me know.

I thank you for reading this, and if you can, reply. thanks again, and, if this *did* happen to you, you have my sympathy(and probably no more hair, you tore it all out too!!) BCNU-jason
