spark @ coil wire but not @ sparkplug wire?

my car won't start, and i'm ready to torch this son of bitch.

i found 2 foul plugs so i changed all the plugs, i have fuel pressure. and i had a chance to borrow my neighbor for 2 seconds before he left his house. so i checked for spark on the #1 wire, by grounding it off the intake bolt and i got no spark. so then i pulled the coil wire off the distributor and i got spark. then i tried the #1 wire again and nothing.
so now i'm stumped, could my ignition control module be bad again?

thanks
for any help

no so how do i do that?

now i have to read how to use the multimeter i have. cause i never used it before and its not like the one i had before thanks

this might get long.

it ran perfect. then not even a week ago i had a half a day @ work which is rare and i wanted to put in my new TB in. so i remove the old one but couldn't get my TPS off due to screws striping. thats when i had that thread about TPS screw size. then it sat with the tB off for a couple of days, work and home life got crazy. but then this afternoon i was suppose to drop it of to get the new suspension installed.
so i woke up early today, cause i figured all i had to do was put the TB back on and i would worry about putting the newer one at a later date.
well i had take the wires of on the left side of the dist to make it aittle easier to get the TB of, but when i put them back on i had 2 wires switched. so when i went to pull out the drive way it was missing and buckin. so i knew something wasn't right. so i checked everything and notice the 2 wires in the wrong spot. switched them back, started up the car and it had a rough idle and wouldn't stay on . ****
so i pull the plugs and they're soak with gas and 2 really didn't look so go, so i took those 2 as fouled up. changed all the spark plugs, double checks all the wires to make sure they were in the right spot. now it only crank and doesn't start.
thats when i got my neighbor to help me like in the first post.
since then i have changed the ignition control module nothing. then i remembered that i had an extra msd cap and rotor thats barely used. and since the one on the car, the contact points from underneath looked alittle worn and discolored i swapped them out also. still the same.

so now i'm stuck at what to do. i will try and test the wires if not tonight, tomorrow morning. i know i have a set of unused MSD wires at my parents house, but i have to wait for the wifey to get home cause my car doesn't start.

well i might of found my problem.

i just found this diagram:



i was using one that didn't show the cap clips

now i have the cap clips inbetween 3 &1 - 6&5
not 7&3 - 5&4

i'm running out to the garage to switch it up now. back in a flash lol

on its right
i'm such a ****in idiot

all day with this **** and it was just that. wait it even gets better as soon as i got it started, i took it out was was doing almost 70mph down this stretch of street. then i pull it into the garage and notice that i never fully put my hood down. i almost ended the night with the hood in my face.

i feel like such an ******* right now i will turn to my wife and ask her to just kick me in the balls.

thanks for everyone putting up with my stupidity.
