Performed a compression test one plug wire/plug at a time (only one wire off at anytime.) Now it will not start. Have good spark from coil.

Try taking out the number one cylinder plug put finger over plug hole have someone crank the engine but do not start, when the #1 cylinder reaches TDC (top dead center) you will feel the air push your finger away from the hole. Now mark your distributor cap verticalyl with a pen to where the cap sits on distrib. And pull off cap, the rotor should be facing the # 1 cylinder. This way you know your timing is correct but also sounds like some how some way a wire or two got mixed up
