Single, it came in the kit with the new ECU and wiring and distributor.

Ok. Now.....
Disconnect the wire on the hot side of the ballast resistor.
Run a wire from that terminal on the ballast resistor directly to the battery.
You are bypassing the ignition switch that way.

Starts to sound quite strange.
Are you 100% sure that the short block is original? If not here is one almost absurd idea: reverse rotation marine block/cam? Did you mention that the previous owner did not get it running either?

Nuffin.

Okay, I checked the voltage of the battery, 12.2 volts, good. Then I turned the ignition on and ground the negative of the voltmeter then touched the positive needle to the power in wire on the ballast resistor, 10.8 volts, it should be 12 volts right?

I think I have a few systemic problems here, I decided to go over the wiring a bit more and under the dash to get a feel of what Im dealing with in this car. I have a suspicion I may need to go through it more closely and maybe even replace the engine bay wiring harness. Check the pics for what I am seeing.
That's pretty ugly and a fire waiting to happen.
Since you bypassed this mess and you have spark, I'd say it isn't your problem, but it still needs to be replaced.

Fuel getting into the combustion chamber....... Check.
Spark plug is firing on the compression stroke....... Check.
No combustion whatsoever.
You are defying every law of physics.

I don't recall, did you check compression with a gauge? What are the numbers?

I agree. Long shot on no compression in all eight but we need to eliminate the obvious at this point.
Low compression in all the cylinders would be a possible indication of a bad timing chain that's slipped and changed valve timing.

Yeah i know that could be a real possibility, I have yet to find my compression tester, its buried somewhere.....

I think we are all going to have a chuckle when this gets resolved.
I dunno the suspense is killing me....
