Default Help please

Ok here's the whole story, still need help too:

I bought a 1995 Formula Firebird for the LT1 and 6 speed and the interior, I got it on the cheap because it wouldn't start. The guy I bought it from had the codes pulled and said it was the distributor was bad and was willing to have the guy come and read the codes in front of me. I bought it. The car turns over fast and well, but just wont fire. I bought an optispark from Autozone and put my cap and rotor on it, tried firing it up with the new water pump left off, no go. I pulled plug wire number 1 and cranked car and received no spark, I pulled the coil and cranked, no spark. I could take it to have the codes read, or replace the coil and wires and cap, need your guys suggestions, I'm on a limited budget and want it running as cheap as possible, but want it running moreover. I can buy MSD cap and rotor, and new plug wires, and coil, and (module?) if needed. I need advise. I have access to a code reader, what should I be looking for in codes.

Another concern is the optispark plate (optical) came off the optispark while I had it apart to swap cap and rotor, does it only go on one way?

Anybody have the codes? Thanks.
