C7 trans
B10 park netural ????? Still there (ground this or no)

Ok we are back from new years and I am back at it.  Went and got myself a noid light set today.  Checked 3 injectors andddd NOTHING!!  I have tested to make sure the module (below the coils) is getting power.  I ran a 10g wire from the block to one of the studs on the bottom of the module to make sure it is grounded.  I turn the ignition on and the check engine light comes on.  It has a brand new crank sensor.

As I said before, that points to either the crank sensor (check that it is mounted in the correct slot and clearanced properly) or the module.  Some aftermarket modules will not work.  The Wells is the worst of the lot for not being any good if reputation means anything.

Also check the wiring between the crank sensor and the module.

New doesn't equal working. Maybe a known good sensor. Anyone to pirate some stuff to see if yours works.

I may be wrong but doesn't A1 close the fuel pump relay when energized allowing power to go the injectors?

No-see the diagram.  Pretty sure the non turbo has the same routing

Also check the wiring between the crank sensor and the module.
And scrape the paint off of the module bracket where it grounds to the engine and module, ensure that there is a good ground path all the way through.  I remember a number of guys powder coating the brackets and losing spark.  Check for resistance through the assembly to ensure it is within spec.

I've added dielectric grease and additional grounds here as well - still on my original module.

Well I got the gm wiring schematic book that was supplied to the dealers in 1987. Turns out everything is exactly the same.... Except the cam sensor. These motors have a small cam sensor that goes in the front of the block just above the crank sensor.
I changed the wiring to match and I now have spark and injector pulse. 
Thank you guys for all your help.
