I replaced the ECU with a working used one, still no dice. :/ Any other ideas?

There is no spark at the plugs, nor at the distributor cap, nor is there electricity coming from the coil.
Not getting 12V at the negative side of the coil while cranking.
Checked the fuses, they're all fine. Fuel pump runs fine with the test connectors together, and the key ON.
Didn't hear the relay clicking though. Might be my ears. Where exactly is the relay?
By the by, thank you for the help. this is causing some serious stress in my family.

Checked the timing belts. Both are fine. Coil bracket grounding? Can you elaborate?

The small, semi-ovular, sort of resistor lookin' thing? If so, I replaced that as well. :/

Hey everyone! Long time reader, first time poster! I own an '88 Gl Wagon that's been very very kind to me for the last three years. She and I have been through a lot, including an engine swap, and I think she's finally stumped me.
Four nights ago, I was picking a friend up from work after a hot day of her runnin' really well, and after having her parked for all of a half-hour, I came out, and she wouldn't start.
She cranks normally, but won't start.
I've tried two different coils, plugs, plug wires, distributors(and caps.) Narrowed it down to somewhere around the coil, or 'before' in the signal path. Both coils are good, but they aren't getting the signal from the ECU(I think.) I've done everything short of replacing the ECU, that I can come up with.
Any ideas/confirmation before I have to go out and get a replacement ECU?
Feel free to grill me.

Distributor spins. What exactly are you asking about the fusible links?
I do not have it on both terminals. It is coming in, bit isn't going through the negative side.
