No spark in my life. 200

Hope someone could help me out here. Any thoughts or ideas are welcome.
Last week my recent acquisition, an 84 244GL B23F with Bosch LH stalled at an intersection. Fault was a disconnected brown wire from the coil deep within the harness. Just pulled it out. Upon inspection found all wires at firewall connector to be insulation free. Joined up the brown wire and drove the car back to my driveway.
So last weekend I rewired the bare wires and also changed the 25amp fuse holder to a waterprooof one. All other engine wiring had previously been replaced.
Now my car will not start.
Starter turns over well, all accessories work, dash lights come on. I have gone over my wiring I think a hundred times, checking continuity. No spark. Tried a good ignition module, coil, coil wire, ECU, AMM(and unplugged). Fuel pump relay does not click, tried two others. System relay does click. Have new plugs, rotor, cap, wires.
Proper voltages found at hall sensor connector. Tested sensor and appears okay.
I'm only working with a Haynes wiring diagram.
I presume it is correct that at the starter there are the two blue/yellow wires to the spade connector near the driver fender. No wire connected to other spade. Also found a shielded grey wire which connects to the brown wire from coil and white/red to ignition module but is disconnected under the steering column.

Any thoughts are welcome. Found other similar posts in archives but solution never posted.

Thanks
