Lebron No Start- No Spark!!!

The shaft turns freely while cranking and everything under the cap looks like new.

My reasoning was "what changed?"
The oil pump, you said you replaced that

Ok, how does the oil pump affect the ignition system?
The same intermediate shaft drives the oil pump and the distributor

So that's why I thought you should look there

Now the question becomes "what part of the system gets bypassed when jumping from battery positive to coil positive"

Find that and you'll find your flaw
