Check for spark using a timing light directly on the coil wire to the center of the Dist Cap. If the timing light flashes, then you know you have spark from the coil to the Distributor. I had a no spark condition one time because the pick-up coil inside the distributor went intermittent when it heated up. I put a meter to it and found a spot where it would come back to life. I jammed a piece of a cable tie into the coil windings and it allow me to drive for another week without a problem. Bought a new one and then took the old one apart. The old one had a small burnt spot inside the windings.
