Default Car won't start...please help

I haven't driven or started the car for about 5 months. Battery was totally dead...tried to charge it...wouldn't take a charge. I bought a new battery...now it just cranks and will not start. I put a new MSD coil in it thinking that was the problem, bypassed the MSD 6AL box as well thinking that was it, still wouldn't start. Fuel pump works, gas tank is pressurized...I am at a loss. Anyone with any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Start by checking for spark at all the wires.

well, if he gets shocked, he has spark!

if you want to do it the ultimate omg i dont wanna get tickled way, get a spark plug tester... and uh use it.

if you have spark... then get a scan tool and use that
