Calling all 99 EMS experts: Starting problem mystery

Hi,
This is a problem/mystery for all you 99 experts out there ;-) My '78 99 EMS will not start. Confirmed is that it is a problem with the ignition, as far as I can tell/understand being that the distributor is not getting a spark. So the ignition control box (amplifier) is not giving the correct output. But the control box is NOT broken or defective because it works just fine in another '78 99 EMS and placing another box in my car doesn't resolve the problem either, so that's pretty weird...
My car has been in the very capable hands of Walter Wong in LA for a few days now, but even he has not been able to find the problem yet (he has put his own personal '78 99 EMS besides mine to compare everything...).
So if anyone has any ideas or thoughts on how to solve this "mystery" please let me know!
Thanks,
Vince
