The donor vehicle is a hodge podge of parts. Mustang 5.0 computer(a9l) and harness, 94 351w engine, distributor from 91 E van w/ 5.8 and attached TFI module. I also swapped gears and had this distributor rebuilt to be compatible with the roller cam.
What I meant by the stator aiding in cylinder ID is the same as you said Steve....Since #1 is a fixed position in the distributor, and the hall sensor triggers when each cylinder is to fire, that is how the system triggers spark and injector pulse.
I should re-title this thread to read....new EFI, no spark or injector firing.
I have done all the checks/tests here on the wiring...

All resistance & voltage checks are within the parameters. I've also pulled codes, KOEO..only ones I have are 81 82 84 85. No KOER codes yet, it won't fire.
I have a noid light on one of the injector plugs, no flash. Also put a spark plug on coil wire and turned over...no spark.
I read a reply that bowsher posted in one of the MANY threads I searched and read, he said something to the effect of with everything good, if the distributor doesn't send a signal for rotation(rpm) and reference point(which cyl), the whole computer, ignition just sits there and does nothing. I'm paraphrasing in my layman's terms what I read....so if I don't have the terminology correct, forgive me ahead of time. What I'm experiencing seems to be that exact scenario. What to check next?
Unfortunately I don't have another distributor that I can pop in to check. I thought I was very thorough in my install and expected it to fire on the first try....but no such luck. I'm trying to eliminate items from the "cause" list.
