No spark issue

I知 sure this issue has been resolved on here before but I知 having trouble with my 92 305 firebird. Last week I was on my way home from work, no issues leading up (the day before I took it on a trip an hour away) and all of a sudden it just fell flat on its face. Happened to me once before and it ended up just being the icm. This time I tried a new icm, a new coil, and a whole new distributor. Security light turns on and off like it should, ran a series of tests and the ecm is good. At this point I知 lost. I will say at one point on the side of the road I did switch polarity from the pickup coil to the icm (the wire that only has around 5v or so) my excuse is I was tired/overwhelmed after a 12 hour shift and got them mixed up somehow. I知 not sure if doing that maybe did something catastrophic. One last thing to add, I did end up doing a manual swap on it two years ago and had the prom chip tuned. Any help would be appreciated thank you.
