Are you getting voltage during cranking or just when the key is on?

Here's a novel idea, let's not throw a bunch of parts at the car hoping it will fix the problem and instead spend a little time diagnosing it first.
Life was a little easier when I was just a wrench.

12V to coil primary terminal(for several seconds only).jumper from coil primary negative terminal to ground(make/break like morse code) with the orig wire from this terminal to the ECU disconnected. Coil secondary wire plugged solidly into coil center & other end held 1/4" from ground. Not being patronizing but keeping it simple in this time of need.

 Sorry if you were here it, I'd isolate the system, jumper the nec. wires and go from there to get it started, then back track whatever is nec. What is simple for me is not nec. so for you.

Doing what Robert says will diagnose what is the problem if it is in the ignition system. You do want to make sure if the ignition system is working.
I'm just wondering if you are disconnecting any wires when you are 'bench testing' the system.

I am gonna jump in here a lil late but need to ask, I am having overheated wiring probs as well and when I disconnect the main bat feed from the alt the sparks and melting stop.
Does this mean my alt is the short?
I hope so because they are a lot easier to swap out.
You need to start a separate thread with your question

Okay i just tried what Robert said again and still no spark.I hear a popping or clicking noise though (from where i cant be sure right now since its just me, but its from somewhere in the engine bay) when ever i turn off the key from the 'on' position, mean anything to ya?
You need a helper. I can see not wanting to leave it on when you are by yourself.
I would say you could just leave the battery dummy hooked and run out there yourself in a pinch. Do the key through the window and be quick about it.
I had a bad VR that made a sound like a clicking one time. It would work and then click off and then click on again, even with a good ground.
