Be sure you did the test on B while cranking and on an AC setting. Also make sure the connector is on the opti when you test. If you get nothing from B but something from A, According to Shoebox's website means you lost high res signal or your meter doesn't update fast enough. Are you using a digital multimeter? Also I would check the ignition fuse.

Borrow an OBD-I scanner and check it for codes. 93 was the last year you could short the ALDL connector to flash the codes. That will tell you if the optical cam position sensor has failed.
