I need some ideas....dirt cheap ones. My repair budget has been expended for the year

my 1990 240 DL Wagon won't start. As a result, she's been sitting since March (when my registration expired)

initial issue: No Spark coming from the coil *to* the distributor.
I had already started a tune-up when I discovered this issue, so the parts I have replaced so far are thus:

Plugs
Plug wires
Distrib Cap
Rotor

Installed a new coil (thinking that possibly the issue was the original coil)

Also installed new crankshaft position sensor. (what a pain *THAT* was!)

still no joy.

I just received and installed a brand new Ignition Control Module....

Still no start. She *CRANKS* like you wouldn't believe.

Timing is good.
No Hall Effect Sensor to replace (hence the Crank position sensor).
Continuity test (via multimeter) shows that the 25A fuse next to the coil is good.

I'm assuming she's getting plenty of fuel...I can smell gas after I've attempted a start, so I'm fairly certain that the problem is nothing related to the fuel pump or fuel pump relay.

Any thoughts? I'm at a complete loss as to what might be causing the problem now. Everything I can think of has been replaced or tested.

Thanks in advance,
David
