Default Motor has no fire

64 GTO 389 tri-power. Car has 1500 miles since frame off. It has run great. It has a Pertronix Flamethrower III ignition. Driving it a couple weeks ago and pushed in the clutch turning a corner and it died and wouldn't start. Got it to my shop and started looking at it and it has spark, 6.1 lbs of fuel pressure, and good compression. I had a GM coil on it that ohmed out ok. When talking to Pertronix, the tech guy said to put a flame thrower 3 coil on it. Tried that and no difference. He said there was no way to test the ignition module but if there was spark then it was doing it's job. Checked the breaker plate for ground, that is good. It has spark at the plugs. Average of about 160 lbs of compression. 12v at the coil. I ran a jumper wire from the battery to the coil, still no fire. I had carb kits on my shelf so I freshened up the carbs. I have fuel pressure and accelerator pump fuel. I am going to buy some points and condenser to see if that fires it, but it has spark now.

It has to be something simple but i am at a loss right now so any suggestions are appreciated.
