How did you verify no spark? No spark at the plug?

I don't recall but I think the firebird might have a remote coil setup?
This is the basic troubleshooting chart for a Corvette, should be close:  |

if it has an external coil, make sure the leads are clean and good.

make sure the fuel pump cycles upon turning the ignition on / but before you crank the engine.
test for spark by pulling a plug wire and putting a spark plug into the plug wire and setting the end of the plug onto steel so it is grounded |
