'88 SPG Won't start after sitting - no spark

My '88 SPG wouldn't start in the cold mornings this winter, about once a month. It always started the same day in the afternoon. No it won't start at all, after sitting 2 weeks (motorcycle weather now). Fuel pump OK. I have an '87 turbo parts car. Swapped everything, still no spark. No tach during cranking either. I rung out the harness to the ignition module (7 pin connector - LH wheelwell) & all looks good after I cleaned grounds. Hall effect wiriing intact. Swapped module, distributor, coil, condensor all 1 at a time. I get 12 volts where I'm supposed to, but no ground on pin 3. I think this sends ground to dist via Hall shield. Is this correct? Anybody have any ideas? The spare module was not known to be good. '87 cracked up but started several times after. Then it wouldn't start - I then stripped it for parts.
