Default No spark!!!

I just finished up replacing my wires, cap & rotor, and put a new coil on my 93 LT1. When I put everything back together I'm not getting any spark...any ideas, suggestions and or thoughts would be greatly appriciated. Thank you

Did you properly plug everything back in? i.e. the coil wire, and the harnesses into the opti and coil?

What brand coil did you go with, a lot of parts stores are selling off brand MSD spec'd products that suck.

Check for spark at the coil, if there is no spark there it could be the OPTI harness the, The icm, or the PCM. If you have spark there it is the opti..

Here is how the whole thing works in a nutshell.
.1 Optical Part of the Opti Sends a signal to the PCM indicating where the camshaft is positioned.
.2 The PCM Uses that signal along with other signals from the engine to determine when to fire the spark plugs
.3 The PCM then send a signal to the ICM Notifying the ICM when to ground the coil
.4 Once the coil is grounded it fires a spark witch them travels through the Opti cap down into the rotor and out the end of the rotor into the correct Plug wire and to the spark plug.

The trouble shooting tips sound good. But i had the same problem. I found my problem was a bad 10 amp fuse in the fuse box under the hood location 11 marked ignition it should be a 10 amp.
