I had a bad brand new coil, out of the box and after talking around, found out it's not uncommon (nowadays) to get inferior coils. so, quality might not be as good as old days on some coils. My usual lecture: get notepad, take notes to track what did or didn't work.
I'd just about bet you have your firing order correct, but running backwards, I know one guy who did that (me). I also had 1 bad factory HEI (duraspark) box that would almost fire, but not quite. Went to junkyard, dropped another $20 and pulled one, and ran like a champ. You might need to start a list and start checking one by one, because if you don't write it down, you'll forget it. Usually, it's the very small things that nail you, nothing earth shattering.
