89 camaro rs. Please help car cranks but no spark!!!

Ok I have an 89 camaro rs with 305 TBI with a 355 block. All electronics still intact. Ok my problem is I started the car fri when I was at work to go off campus to smoke a cigarette ok then I couldn't get it to start back up. I have replaced the coil 4 times in the past 3 days I've also replaced the ICM twice and the p/u coil. Then changed the whole dizzy all together. Ok power is getting to the coil checked with test light but after that nothing. The power is directing to the dizzy but it won't spark at all. Please help me in any way. I have replaced everything. Brand new parts even a new ecu. Please any ideas o help please my email is bonehead_1387@yahoo.com

Could possibly be bad crank/cam sensor. If pcm does not get a signal it wont send signal to fire spark.

Unplug the pickup connector from the distributor and have someone crank it while you have a plug boot off and see if it sparks.

Also double check all the wires going to the coil. The can get corroded and easily break connection under the sheath of the wire. Try and wiggle it around and see if you get an intermittent connection.
Can also run a ground from your battery to a bolt on the coil to eliminate a bad ground.
