If there is no spark, something has to be an issue that delivers it. Or something else is causing damage to components that give you spark. (Bad electrical short, causing your new coil to be ruined the moment you try it out, for example.) You said new wires... Maybe a bad ground?

Or the computer connector. If it was working intermittently, and you moved it to put in a new computer and now it's completely dead...seems that connector could be suspect to me.
