no help

The issue is that it was running but the I decided to give her some love..

I changed the plugs, the wires, cap but the rotor and points were not normal looking or the same as the parts i ordered so I left the rotor and it has pointless points so I left them..

Now i've put the old wires back on cause the new ones the 1-2 side were too long anyway..

Now the fuel pump comes on but she turns over but won't fire..

As for check for spark I'm not sure how the best way to do that is by myself I could ask my wife to help..

On an old motorcycle I would take the plug out and hold it near steel and crank?? look for spark one plug..

not sure how on my car??

Agree - recruit wife to crank the car while you watch the plug. Best to do in garage, out of bright sunlight if at all possible.

Yes the motorcycle technique is the same. Remove the plug from head. Connect back into spark plug wire. Hold metal body of the spark plug to unpainted metal on engine. The fan shroud is a good ground.

Have her crank on your command and watch for spark. Ideal spark is bright blue. Weak spark is barely visible and yellowish. No spark . . . Well that is obviously the worst.

Wear leather gloves to hold plug and/or use insulated pliers to hold the plug so you don’t get a jolt.
