Running out of ideas

Well when we first got the 88 rx7 my friend put the battery in backwards and fried a bunch of stuff so i went and replaced the ecu, crank angle sensor, both the ignitors, and new plugs and wires and all new main fuses and the ones inside too and still no spark. I tested the resistance on the CAS, leading and trailing coils and they all were ok, the i tested to see if thier was 12 volts going to the coils and that was ok. I'm running out of things to check. It's getting fuel but when i take the spark plug out it doesn't spark. The battery is fully charged too. Any thing else that anyone could thing of to try would be great. Thanks

Put an oscilloscope on the "trigger" lead on the leading coil...Do you see a square wave?
