I need to know the name of the part of the ignition that causes a 1988 chevorlet caprice classic to crank? Someone stole the car a couple years ago and the owner has gotten it back but the steering column is broken along with that piece

The spark plugs and wires have nothing to do with cranking the engine. Make sure your battery is charged up and all the connections are clean. Get someone to give you a boost if necessary. If you still get nothing you may need a new starter , or possibly ignition switch. If nothing happens when you get a boost your'e probably better to let a mechanic handle it.
Fuel pump because it's not making enough pressure. That's why it's coming out of line but not getting to injectors. Check and see if someone may of put in line filter if so it could be clogged up.
Do your asterisks **** indicate shaking ?
Be sure motor mounts are OK....engine tilt on the turn may pull or push some wiring connector causing a circuit disconnection.
Don't forget...fuel filter blockage or fuel pump losing efficiency.
I suggest ....don't drive until this is resolved. A shutdown in high traffic could be fatal !
probably a 305, check the 8th digit on your VIN #, if it's an R, i think it's a 305, K would mean a 350...hope this helps
also, call chevorlet and they will tell you....also, it could be an LT1
there are many things that could be wrong... evn though this caprice does not have points it does have a cap mounted coil that could be bad, also under neath the dist. is wuts called a pickup coil this coul also be bad. try a simple tune up first..plugs wires cap and rotor, new cap doesnt come with coil so you have to swap your old one into the new cap. getting a new coil wouldnt be to bad of an idea
