Exclamation 1984 911 carrera, will not start

hey guys i'm posting out of desperation here. Ive searched for days now, replaced parts, printed out trouble shooting guides and i'm out of ideas.

i have a 1984 911 carrera, and it wont start. So heres the background. car sat for a unknown period of time. car would not start when first acquired. pulled all fuel injectors and sent out to be rebuilt and flow tested. cleaned engine of rodent nests and tree matter. replaced fuel filter, changed the oil, got a new oil filter, drained the old gas and purged the lines. i even cleaned out the fuel rails. got new injectors, filled w/ 5 gal of fresh 93 octane fuel, and she fired up, had some fun, got new tires did other things like rip the interior out and replaced it.

now the problem, i had jacked the car up, fixed an oil leak and when i put her back down she wouldn't start. i wasn't getting any spark! odd i thought. the cap and rotor are good, no cracks or corrosion. i replaced the coil and still nothing. replaced the DME relay, still nothing, replaced the fuel pump relay, no good, just finished installing a new reference sensor, and to my surprise... still wont run. "just to add in, since i didn't touch the little screw on the fly-wheel i didn't check the clearence for .08mm"

Tomorrow ill be able to check for spark cause ill have a buddy over to crank it. The fuel pump runs when jumpered. battery is new and is putting out 11.89 volts.

Thoughts? ideas? anything? very well appreciated, Sean
