check your wires? thats a wired code to get on a swap. id think your distributor was bad but you say its all good. whats your wiring like? is the engine harness the si harness? or some other modded harness?

well you say you rebuilt the distributor? did they have two options for a coil based on who made the dizzy? id try swapping over to a known working distributor just to get that out of the way

sounds to me like you are trying to use a HF engine harness with the Si chassis harness, which won't work - what are the wire colors in the round 8-pin connector at the driver's side firewall connection?

It's amazing what search can find.
Link has pages from the repair manual so you can do a proper trouble shoot.
