"If that doesn't fix it, I'll reset PRAM and repair permissions."
Permissions? for such an old car? maybe you meant to Rebuild the Desktop?
Anyway, cranking that long will kill the battery, get new wires and a new distributor cap and problems should go away.
For an engine to start, it needs 3 things:
1-gas: check, seems like your engine gets gas
2-air (or more precise, Oxygen). Again, sound like that's OK
3-spark: you nailed the problem, that spark should have been inside the engine, not outside.
new wires and a cap should fix it.
