Default new headgasket, now no sparky

Ok, had the dreaded BHG on my 87 turbo.

Pulled the head, took it to the machine shop, had it milled .006 to straighten it, got a valve job, then put the thing back together.

Now, it will not even attempt to spark. Had my girl crank it with a screwdriver in the spark plug boot and holding on to chassos ground, didn't even light me up.

I'm guessing I may have missed an electrical connection somewhere (someone shoot the person that designed the wiring harness to run between intake runners...)

My question is, which ones will absolutely kill spark? (besides the coil packs, of course)

My neighbor seems to think that all 3 coil packs just went bad simultaneously while they were off the car. I think not likely. I suspect my work before I suspect bad parts.

anyway, any suggestions to get this thing to fire? I think I have the timing straight, lined up crank on 0, both cams straight up, cps on little notchy thingy, but no fire.

this is very depressing after all the work I put into it, and any assistance would be appreciated.

Bill
