still more LT1 problems!
 
in the 97.. replaced bent valves timing set ect... before we replaced the valves we thought it was just the timing set, after i replaced it car started and idled, it ran like crap but still ran. I then discovered 3 bent valves only on 1 side (drivers) removed head and had valves replaced at a machine shop. installed the head plugged everything back in and had no spark. replaced the ICM and the coil, also just did the opti test and everything checks out. i also tried another computer also still no spark. what the heck could i be missing?

Did you get any spark from the opti to the coil?

From the opti TO the coil? I thought it went from the coil to the opti? (no I am not being a smart-A)

Sounds like you need to recheck your connections. I bet you forgot to plug something in.

coil is not fireing, but im getting a signal to the ICM. this is frustrating.

Between the two, my bad.

Try changing to another coil. I received one from MSD that was DOA. They're all made the same exact way, so get the cheapest one you can find that isn't reman.

ill have to do a test on the coil, it is brand new if its DOA ill be hot!
