Cant get this to run, need help

OK to start make sure you have power in and out of the ballast resistor. Start there we will get you going.

Well, I do have power in and out of resistor. voltage on coil + is a little over 5Volts. I changed rotor button, no change. I ran a wire from battery + to coil + and it wouldnt start. I took off #1 plug wire and layed it close to plug tried to start it and there was no arc. I still dont think I am getting fire to plugs. I changed out the coil with a new one , no change. I have been sick, feeling better now and I have had to finish up this corvette and it left last night but this weekend I am going to get busy on this car and see if it will run. I bought a compression tester. I am going to get # 1 up on compression, check timing and make sure dist. is on #1 and try it again. I just dont understand how we can drive this car in the garage, pull engine out, do mains and rod bearings and rings and put it back in and it will not run.Did not change any electrical components.Did not mess with any electrical and not get any fire to plugs now. It must be something stupid.
