No Spark in E30! Help!

So I'm in desperate need of help to get my car back on track. The basic problem is that the engine has no spark, but here's the back story on where I'm at.

-I blew the motor from my 90 325i with a bad shift on the track.
-Got an 89 325i parts car, pulled the engine and installed it in track car.
-Tried to start and turns over great, but doesn't fire.
-Pulled a plug, no spark.
-Brand new parts on motor: ignition wires, plugs, distributor cap, rotor.
-Moved ignition coil from a known working car.
-Crankshaft Position Sensor tests good. (514 Ohms resistance, within 1mm of gears.)
-Tested that I'm getting 12V to main relay.
-Stomp Test for ECU returns 1444 (the all's good code)
-Checked realoem w/ VIN's and the ECU's are the same part number.

So what am I missing? Did I forget to plug something in? Is there something else to check? Been working on this so long now and I just want to get out there to the track. Any help at all is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Adam
