this motor lost 1 cyl. and I realized the thermostat housing was spraying water. I fixed it. then exchanged the coils to make sure that this is why 1 cylinder went dead. Now the motor won't fire at all. I did a compression test and both were 145. Would another ignition component fry the coils or am I going in the wrong direction?

btw, I hooked a 9.8 coil up to the side that ran initially and it gave a nice strong spark.
