Default no start

I have a problem i bought this project car about three months ago and barely starting to work on it. Right now im stuck on it since it will not start i am getting fuel, but a weak spark. I was thinking it could be the coils but i couldn't find the resistance specs. Also my car has no o2 sensors hooked up or exhaust i was also wondering if that could be my problem. My friend told me it could be the wiring harness problem but kinda don't want to try that till the end. A lil back ground info of the car its a 87 camaro with a 4.8 i installed a ls1 intake with stock ls1 injectors. My buddy put a stock tune on it and started right up but after it ran for about 30 secs i shut it off then after that it would not start up anymore just keep misfiring. Checked the plugs and they where fouled with lots of fuel. Id appreciate it any help. Also sorry about my bad typing skills i aint such a good writer lol.
