no spark -please help

Ok I have an 89 Camaro 2.8 v6. I'm not getting any spark. I have replaced wires, plugs, distributor cap and rotor as well as get my ICM tested and it was good. I'm getting spark/fire from the the wire that goes onto the middle of the distributor cap but that's it. Please help I'm not sure what to do.

i would pull the cap off and look at the dist. and make sure your dizzy isnt all corroded and everything. your coil is putting out spark so that eliminates that.

My dizzy doesn't look that bad I don't see any corrosion. What about my pick up coil, could that be doing it?
