Default no spark,no start. I am at a dead end.

i have an 87 iroc with the 305 tpi. a couple of weeks ago it started loosing spark intermittenly, usually on my way home from work. Before that i had put a new coil and icm on it. One night it happened, in my attempt to restart it my starter blew up into two pieces! I replaced the starter and it started fine so i left it running till it died again so i could find out why it was loosing spark. It eventually died and i discovered that the pickup coil was in bad shape. put a new MSD distributer on with an MSD coil. No spark. when i leave the key in the on position it will overheat my coil. I've replaced the ground strap and negative battery cables. The only spark i get is when i turn the key from the on position to the off position. The ignition switch seems to be working fine. Please give me some ideas as i have now come to a dead end. I suspect the pcm but am wondering if it's something more simple. Please help
