Well, still no success yet. Thanks to all for the replies. I'm really not sure what exactly I'm missing but I just can't seem to get a spark. I did notice a test from the link Art posted earlier that showed removing the plug from the distributor and jumping terminals B and C, then checking for (low) voltage on A. I was not certain which terminals to jump since mine does not have A, B, or C marked, just the colors green, yellow, and black. I did not want to jump the wrong terminals and potentially damage something.

Anyway, I'm going to keep at it, hopefully in the evenings after work and then again over the weekend.

Another thought that has crossed my mind is that something else is wrong that has nothing (at lease not directly) to do with the wire harnesses I worked on or the FI/ignition components checked, like possibly some wiring/components under the dash or "before" the engine harness.

I'll keep updating with anything I find. Thanks again to all for the help.
