Still wont start.

Hi guys. So last week I had some issues with my car, no spark and no compression in cylinders 1 and 3. So I replaced the coil, module, cap, and rotor button. Also did the head gasket over the weekend. Got everything back together, put the timing mark on TDC, put on the distributor cap, ran the wires, still wont start. So, just for fun, I just went out, unplugged power to the coil and tested compression in Cylinder 1. Goodie, I have compression. Went for a second test to make sure, and now the damned thing wont even crank over. Oh yea, while I was in there, I also replaced the starter. Now its clicking, but not cranking over. This thing is driving me nuts, I'm thiiiiiiiis close to pushing it into the lake. Any ideas on where to go from here?? Thanks

Brian
