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
