1989 firebird 2.8 not getting fire

Hello my firebird is not getting fire from the coil I have replaced coil and the complete distributor I'm wondering if my next thing is going to be the computer?

I would suspect the wiring if replacing the dizzy didn't do it, wiring and the pickup coil(part of the dizzy) would be the two most likely suspects, so before throwing more parts at it, I would check all ignition wiring over. Also could be the ICM if new dizzy didn't come with one.

If someone used a quick crimp connect for a tach, they will cut the wires over time and you won't notice it.
