You checked the coil for spark independently of the distributor?

The coil is charged by energizing the primary winding. When the primary circuit is opened, the secondary winding of the coil builds voltage until the spark can jump the air gap. If your ignitor is not opening the primary circuit (either because it's faulty or mis-wired), you will get no spark from the coil secondary. Check your wiring against the OEM diagram I posted.
