    Perhaps check “how good of spark” you have. Most good coils should be
    able to jump a 1/4″ “open air” spark, which means you have enough
    spark intensity to fire the plug under compression.
    Could you have flooded the engine terribly? Been there, done that!
    It sounds like you have excellent compression.

    With good compression ( I wasn’t sure if 80-85 was good.  Thought it might be but always like to get confirmation) it could be the condenser since it is a new coil.  I will install a new condenser.  I have one and I’ll hope for the best.
