Ok, then describe how you tested for each of your tests. You can be a couple of teeth off and it still look right on the dizzy and still get nothing. Have you checked the compression?

i have a spark tester which lit up, for the injectors i pierced a test let into one of the injector wires, when i took the spark plug out fuel sprayed out, so it has to have some kind of compression....at tdc the dizzy rotor is pointing strait at #1.
