Also my MAF sensor seems to be slightly burned and one of the diodes is close to breaking point, will probably replace while I’m at it but first I get to pull the intake back off and find the correct plug for my knock sensor, might figure out how to relocate it like Slarti. Any tips for doing so are greatly appreciated

The extra two pin connector on my old wiring harness is capped so I do have the correct plug going to my coil, when I replaced the knock sensor recently I believe I plugged it into the wrong black clipped plug and yes I replaced my crankshaft position sensor after the motor was in and made sure to turn the motor to tdc and mark where my rotor was pointing before pulling it

So I’ve finally checked my codes and I have a 34 for the knock sensor which after pulling my intake back off I realized I hadn’t swapped it from the old motor so I installed a new one and checked my codes and it’s a 55(all clear) added some grounds around the back and drivers side of the motor and even still when I crank I have no spark, occasionally if I crank it for 30+ seconds I’ll hear it make some sort of noise, not sure if one of my cylinders is actually igniting or if it’s just the compression making noise as it exits

When I check the voltage from said wire (black/white stripe and blue) it’s showing 12v and when I check voltage coming through the coil wire it’s showing 9.5v

The wire I have plugged into the coil is a black with white stripe and a blue with grey dots/lines, is that the wrong plug, there is another 2 prong connector that I figured went to the evap system nearby, I’ve tried cranking with both and wouldn’t get spark either way

I recently blew my stock motor playing in the sand for too long and found a 90k mile junkyard motor still in its original pathy that had been rolled, the yard mechanic pulled the motor for me and I swapped it in, everything seemed to bolt up fine except I’m not getting any spark, I’ve checked voltage through to my distributor cap and it’s showing 9 volts coming through the contact on the inside of the cap, plugs and wires are all fairly new so it doesn’t make sense why it won’t spark, when I bought the motor the mechanic started it up still in the car and it ran great, any help is much appreciated!
