OK you are getting good spark out of the coil? Take a REALLY good look at the distributor cap and rotor ESPECIALLY the rotor. They can carbon/ punch through UNDER the contact finger and jump the spark down through to the shaft. Also look at the cap for moisture, dirt, tracking, etc.

Changed rotor but no change. Cap looks good. Practically new. This crap is driving me crazy. I had a problem very similar to this before and it was was original firewall to block ground was bad. Replaced it

Better be checking your timing then, and see if the chain jumped.
You said it has at least intermittent spark, so it should pop once in awhile at least.
Put a light on it and verify the timing. (Yes you can do that without the engine running)
It will also give you a better idea about your spark.

Pulled number one plug and put thumb over hole. Used remote starter switch. Turned engine over till compression blew thumb off. Timing was 10 to 15 BTBC. Rotor pointing at number one on cap.
