Try using one of the old plugs and connect it to #1 and a good ground then try starting to visually confirm if spark is/is not present. Its much easier to see the spark in the dark. If you get a spark the problem is not electrical and could be a bad ground between the plug and the block, rarely happens, but not unheard of.

Testimonial: "I have removed the plugs and grounded to the neg terminal of the battery cranked motor and no spark, how do i test ground to block multimeter testing resistance between battery neg terminal and block>"

    You can do that, but try testing between neg and probe the spark hole in case its leaking oil past the plug. The fact you have no spark indicates there is a really high resistance between the plug and the coil, ther are specs for each plug wire have you checked each one for high readings? Could also be a bad cam/crank esnsor if one is bad it won;t fire the plugs, since the computer gets no reading from the sensor.
