Shrug.

From your first post my impression was that you were using a timing light to verify spark. I suggested you just pull a plug wire and hold it near a ground.

Your next post again indicated that you were using a timing light to determine spark. But since the timing light would only show spark at the plug it is connected to, if the distributor rotor was not turning you wouldn't detect spark. As you hadn't indicated that you had gone back in and checked the timing belt, there was a possibility that it was loose (belt tensioner) or broken. So I suggested you check for rotor movement.

Contrary to your statement, "The rotor is TURNING. (which it would anyway even if the belt was broken)", the rotor will not turn if the belt is broken as the belt drives the idler wheel/pulley which turns the dist. rotor.

Anyhow, I gave it a shot.
