Ok on your 1989 does the test light flash on the Neg side (-) of the coil (Tach side) while the engine cranks?
If not pull out the SPOUT jumper (shorting bar) and see if it flashes then.
If not replace the distributor or the PIP sensor (stator) inside of it.
If it does flash with the SPOUT out then you have bad wiring to the computer (shorted to ground) or a bad computer.
