Update
thanks to everyone who read and contributed. Yes my distributor had been moved.
I got it started!
It was a combination of things that helped me get to an engine that worked.
One key thing I should have done early on was a compression test.
I did that and realized that my compression was low and that didn’t make sense. My valves were adjusted a little too tight. Solving for that made a big difference. The next thing that helped was making sure I had the distributor advanced enough to spark at the correct time. I guess putting my finger over a plug hole and looking at the spark wasn’t a very accurate way of judging that timing.
I really appreciate all of the input via this forum, I’m not sure if I would have figured it out if someone hadn’t told me to stop working on the sensor and coil and move on.
Trust the flowchart! I guess I really wanted it to be problem on the chart and when it wasn’t I got hung up.
I now have some extra spares that are good to have and hopefully never need like another Thunderbolt IV, ign sensors, coils.
Now to solve for a stuck oil filter that’s caving in as I try to remove it, time to search the threads.
