I finally got her running but new problem
My 89 n/a has sat for 2 1/2 months because I couldn't figure out what was keeping her from getting a spark, well it turned out to be the air gap on the speed sensor but here;s the weird part I ordered two sensors from Lindsey
Racing pulled my old ones out and installed the new sensors tried to start the car and still nothing so I figured it had to be the air gap so i pulled out the speed sensor and only part of it came out the flywheel ripped the end off of it so i fished the chewed up remains out adjusted the air gap used my one good sensor and one old one and she fired right up! So guys if you buy new sensors make sure you gap them!
Since the time she quit till now she developed a couple of leake a water leak
at the plastic hose fitting on the thermostat housing and a pretty bad oil leak
at the rear corner of the engine (pass side) the water leak I fixed, the oil
seems to be coming out between the head and block but not 100% sure
because I can't see up in there my question is could it be possible to blow a head gasket just from sitting in a driveway for 2 months?
89 944 n/a
85 944 driver
87 944S almost done

If it is leaking from the rear TOP corner, passenger side, it may be the simple cork gasket that is usually the problem.
