Here is what I have found so far:

Spark from the ignition coil wire
spark at plug wires
plugs are newer and still look good
plugs smell like fuel
a shot of ether down the intake plate (just to be sure) did nothing
cap & rotor about a year old and slightly worn, but nothing out of the ordinary
coil primary measures about .4 ohms (within spec)
coil secondary measures about 9 kohms (within spec)
wires relatively new
fuel pump relay about 9 months old (old one resoldered but failed again)
jumpered between FPR terminals 7 and 8 just to be sure

Even after all the above, can't get one sign of life out of it. The battery must be in excellent condition, since I have been cranking the life out of it and it is just now showing signs of slowing.

FWIW, it has been raining heavily here for the last 3 days. I initially thought this was moisture related, but not even ether can elicit a kick out of it. I am stumped for now...

Any other suggestions out there? Thanks in advance!
