760 turbo won't start...Save it from the junkyard! 700

Hi all. My 1984 760 turbo won't crank. It has been sitting for about two years...I changed the headgasket and had the head resurfaced, and I am just now getting back to it. Anyway, the car wont start. I belive it is getting fuel, because the plugs are wet, but when I pull the #1 plug and ground it to check for spark, I get nothing. I also tried connecting a plug wire directly to the coil and checking for spark there, but I also go nothing. So unless I'm checking wrong, I have no spark at the plug wires or the coil. I don't know where else to look...I am fairly inexperienced. Please help me out, I am going to have to junk the car soon if I can't get it running, and I REALLY don't want to do that!

TIA
Michael
