OK, here's a WAG. Is the rotor turning? About a hundred years ago I had a GTO with the same problem. I did the same things. Finally, I noticed that the rotor wasn't turning. The curl pin on the distributor drive gear sheared.

I don't know if any of the above is pertenent to your situation. Mine was just one of those weird things that's never supposed to happen.

Verify coil is connected correctly and wires are routed correctly as well.

yea the coil is connected, the motor turns over, someone suggested a GM ignition module instead of the one i got from advance auto parts where you must have the IQ of a rock to work there.
