There a little punctuation thing called a PERIOD. Use it & your posts will be much easier to understand.
I think the distributor rotor should be pointing to 11 o'clock when at TDC (?)...
If the ground wire is that hot, sounds like an unfused short somewhere.
If you replaced the ignitor, it sounds like the problem might be in the wiring harness....?
Which engine are we talking about here??

I guess plug wires on the wrong plugs or distributor off a tooth or more.
Hard to guess given it's been apart for a year & we don't know if you put it back together correctly~

#1 Cylinder at TDC(Top dead center) Distributor rotor should be pointing at #1 cyldiner on the Distributor cap and both valves should be closed.
Firing order is 1-3-4-2
Spark coming directly from coil? If not then thats your trouble area.
Fuses?
