Ok, so I decided to throw a new distributor in as a hail mary. While I was dropping it in I noticed that when I dropped it in I would hear the fuel pump kick on. I thought that was a bit strange, so I started looking around thinking I had pinched a wire some place. While I was messing around with it I noticed a spark coming out of the coil wire and that each time I would drop the distributor in the fuel pump would prime...like I had turned the key to the on position (it was in the on position the entire time). This doesn't seem normal to me. It makes me think there is a short some where. Any ideas?
