The timing light will give you a good idea of the existance of spark.
Having it run well is what the other stuff is for.
Clean plugs are essential for reasonable detonation. Pull at least three of them and make sure they're clean and dry. A little brushing with a brash bristle brush and simple green does wonders.

as stated, I have spark. timing is on, i checked TDC (TDC= Top Dead Center)
Ive pulled the plugs one by one and checked each cylinder for spark, and its there. They are new plugs, installed them yesterday. when i pulled them , they were clean, and smelled of gas so i know its getting fuel. Ive hit the intake with ether, so it should have fired if it was a fuel issue.
at one point, I had all the plugs attached to their respective wires, just laying in the plug hole. As it turned over, i saw each cylinder detonate 1-5-3-6-2-4. it almost seems they don't detonate in the chamber?
Could this be a plugged cat issue?
