car won't start.

I have a 1991 camaro z28 with a 5.7 cid engine. I am getting power from the ign swtich to the ign coil, pick up coil and module when engine is being cranked over, but none from the coil wire to dist cap or spark plugs. The ign coil and module were checked and found to be okay. The pick up coil is new. What else needs to be check. I'm thinking may-be the dist has bit the dusk. Does anyone out there have any ideals what else to look for.

Did you test the coil on the car or off the car. I had an escort one time that the spade on the coil was bent sideways so it would miss the hole when I plugged it into the wiring harness. If you tested it on the car and know it is working, then it sounds like it could be your distributer. But I would think even if it was bad it would put out a little spark. Do you have an hei distributer, or a regular one???
