C20XE not starting turns over fine but is not getting a 12v supply to the coil therefore its not getting a spark,
already replaced the following:
coil amplifier
coil
leads
plugs
dizzy cap
rotor arm
coolant temp sensor
crank sensor
fuel pump relay

Does it run if you wire a 12v supply direct to the coil?

How do you know it isn't getting 12v to the coil? And if you know this, why replace plug leads?
I'd put a fuse between any direct feed from the battery as if there is a short in the coil you are getting burnt fingers or worse, an exploding battery.
I would rather lose by a mile because i built my own car, than win by an inch because someone else built it for me.

You have tried fuses? borrow a coil from a mate and try that?
