Default 87 non turbo wont start, need some advice...please.

Ok, this is an 87 n/a 5 speed car, stopped at the gas station to get gas and came out car wont start, cranks but wont start. also couldnt hear the fuel pump whine when jumped at the diagnostis connector under the hood, car has 180K mile on stock pump. replaced pump, sock and filter and pump now runs but still wont start, checked for spark and none, checked coil per manual and ohm reading was way higher so i replaced the coil, still wont start, coil gets 12V when key is on as does the igniter, checked the AFM per manual and all within specs, EFI fuse is good, checked grounds and all is good. Im thinking it may be a bad ignitor but want t know a way i can test it and make sure before i spend 450 bucks on a new one. Ive been reading on here the last few days and this is how ive gotten this far and would really appreciate alittle more help from ones more experienced with these cars than myself.

Thanks in advance.


PS... When cranking the engine the tach isnt showing anything, which im thinking is bad, and it should be showin some RPM even if it doesnt start. Also i checked the pick up coil in the dist and it checks out good as well.
