Thanks for all the help everyone im still working on this but have not had time to update the situation so far i replaced the cap and rotor back to the old ones and still no spark at all im going to replace the coil next because this one looks a little beat up ....

getting 12 volts at the battery (red) wire on distributor w/ key on?  As i mentioned earlier, if you get voltage to the distributor (red wire), but not out of the distributor (no spark) could be pick up coil, ignition coil, or module.

if no power to the distributor with key on, perhaps ignition switch, or wiring.

Also are you testing for a spark or seeing if she will start up?
