No spark what-so-ever need help asap
Well I was driving and out of no where the car started hesitating bad, so i pulled off the 2 lane road onto a back road where it got worse It was like this...... "Chug chug chug POW" loud azz back fire. Well I checked, I have no spark, I'm getting fuel. I have a new dist cap and new wires. What should I buy to fix this.
ps some guy dolley'd me home, the bottom gfx is all blue and broke in half and also the whole 1 side of the bumper is blue and scratched up from the damn dolley turning and ****. I'm furious

Mine had the same problem a couple of weeks ago.
I had to replace my starter and the dizzy and coil...
As for the damage, you should be able to make the company that towed you pay for it.
I had to have mine towed as a result of this problem...tow operator screwed up so I got a free tow and my front gfx repainted (needed to paint it anyway, but with their carelessness, I'll take the free job) all for their cost - $1000
As long as you can get the driver/company to admit responsibility, you should be able to get them to pay. Threaten that you'll go through insurance, worst case...

Sorry to hear that. Good intentions I guess...
Dizzy = distributor. I see you got a new cap. Maybe you want to check the internals - rotor, coil, etc... - check the plugs themselves (I would check plugs first).
I'm no pro, so don't go blowing your money on anything just yet. But I think that is the right direction so it will at least get you started. I think it has to be distributor related.

I had a problem similar to this, turns out my rotary button inside the distributer cap had broken loose, and was spinning cutting my distributer cap to hell. (Best way I know to explain what happened)

If it is not dented, why not just get some rubbing compound and buff it out?

Check the pick up coil, check the resistance on your fuel injectors, if they go bad it can burn up the ecm and then there will be no reference pulse to initiate spark. You could also get a noid light and check for injector pulse.
