You had not previously mentioned the outcome of those two important tests.

Test the coil and igniter unit inside the distributor. An auto parts store will generally test the igniter unit for you. Also check for battery voltage to body ground on the Blk/Yel wire attached to the coil and igniter when the key is in ON(II).

You've confirmed that the cam is properly timed, and the cam rotates when you crank. Timing belts usually fail by stripping off teeth on the crank gear. The belt will still look intact and OK when you just look at the top, but the cam will not move.

Orange spark tells you that the coil is bad.

Do you now have bright white spark at all four plugs? Did you reconnect the plug wires in the correct firing order?

The cylinders are ordered 4-3-2-1 from the distributor to the timing belt:
