1974 pickup 390 mtr has been converted to electronic ignition The ignition fried Replaced ignition and coil Ignition switch is good but still no spark Can anyone help?

You'd have to describe the components you replaced. Did you use a plug and go all in one distributor or did you replace the coil, distributor, and add an electronic ignition unit? If you "fried" your ignition, it's likely you fried something else along the line too. Check all your components.

I ended up with replacing the lock cylinder it was a rather expensive part, the cheapest I found the part was for $192, most places has it for over $200, the lock and ignition cannot be replaced separately it comes as one piece.
