    I just had a very similar experience on a ‘new-to-me’ ’90s Chrysler. Tester showed spark, no sign of life even after a direct injection of starting fluid.
    Problem went away after tossing the virgin-looking Champions and putting in a pair of NGKs.
    If you can inject fuel into the cylinders and not get even a fart, you have no fire. Motors will pop even if cross-wired, which says something will happen even if seriously mistimed.
