Okay, the engine won't turn over, so that's isolating the problem to the battery, starter, starter solenoid, cables, and ignition switch.

Whoa, whoa....okay, if the engine's not turning over, then how is he supposed to get spark? I think you've incorrectly reported exactly what the car is doing. If the engine turns over, that means that the starter is engaging and spinning the engine. If there's no spark, then that's a completely different ballgame. As to "getting nothing after the coil," I'm assuming you mean that there is no ignition occurring. Are you sure that the coil wire is good? Is there ground switching occurring across the ignition coil?
