Default Still no spark

ok so the car still wont spark....it started with me replacing the harmonic balancer and i ended up breaking the crank sensor while doing this and replaced the sensor three times so i ruled out that its the sensor. i just now put the new wiring harness in. that wasnt it. i looked in the service manual and went through a list of things to do and got to ...check voltage at crank sensor harness terminal D. it should be over 10 volts..it reads 12 volts..so then it says its a faulty crank sensor connection or sensor... si right now im thinkin i just need to keep trying to adjust the sensor but idk. any ideas or better ways to adjust sensor other then crawling under with feeler gauge?

what does the car do exactly when you turn the key to try and start her up ? we need to better understand what is not engaging..

ok well i got it running just now. the problem was the crank sensor wasnt in the exact spot so i just kept movin it around and finally got it to start poping when i cranked it so moved it just a hair more and that seemed to do it so now i got it tightened down and marked it. im off now to change the oil, flush rad. and change belt. thanks for all your help

You'll need a feeler gage to set the gap correctly so that the sensor is dead center.
Instuctions should have come with the new part.
