i recently bought a 94 dodge dakota. #5 rod had gone threw the water jacket,no problem i have a 93 donar. i completed the engin swap from the 93 automatic to the 94 manual using everything for the manual in the 94. easy stright swap. ok in the process i broke the crank sensor. now i have replaced the sensor 5 times and the last one i bought to day from a dodge dealer so i got the oem part right. now i have replaced the distributer,coil,wires,cap,roter,and even tryed using the pc from the 93 . now the problem i am having is no fire to the plugs, everything else is working fine . fuel pressure is about 75lbs . pluss you can smell the fuel in the exaust . im just not getting any fire please help. the donar engin ran great befor i did the swap .

Did you check the two crank pulleys? If they arent the same part#, your crank sensor may not be picking up a sgnal...attach a voltmeter to the sensor itself and crank engine, any reading? If not swap the crank pulley...no signal= no spark!
