1991 Lifted Z71

Well guys as I said in my Gtp thread I was getting the truck back out, now I like to think I know a lot about tbi 350s, and I know them better than 3800s, but I am just swamped on this part of the truck, im going to ask it here any way idk if any of you guys have messed with 1990s tbi 350s. So here is what I have to say, and I wanna see if you guys know what this problem could be. Any way first of I was driving the truck around one day, then I decided to put my 88 gauges in, so put them in, then I got smoke out from under the dash, then I put my 91 gauges back in and they worked, but now the truck is getting no spark, it turns over, fuel system is working good, but no spark idk what the he*l it could be, I think I found the wire that burnt under the dash and I fixed that!?!?! So now I am just stumped! If any body knows what this problem could be any help would be appreciated!
 


Look for this fuse box inside the cab, check any fuses that deal with the computer, igntion system aswell.

Well one think after another with this beast, The rear main went out, I started it and it dumped like 3 1/2 quarts out on the ground, so I am getting ready to pull the engine out, I have the front off (alt, water pump, and what not) also the manifolds, and most of the wiring. Tomorrow the transfer case is coming off, and it will be out. Then me and my dads friend are going to do the rear main and we are also going to put new bearings in it, because the oil psi is very low from running 15w 40 in it in the winter (wind-chill was well below 0), not very smart my friends! Anyway here is a pic of the progress!
 
A lot of improvements could be done but nice truck treat her good. I have had a few that I've reworked and made nice
