wont start, no power to coil

engine won't start all of the sudden. found there was no spark from distributor to plugs. saw the coil was burntout, so i replaced the tranformer(coil), cap, and rotor. same problem, tested the battery connection, nothing.

any ideas?

i've been having to get rides to school/work for a couple weeks, and it's getting to be rediculous

also checked the fuseblock

Check the test tach lead - make sure that it is not grounded. Grounding will cause coil to stay energized and quickly burn out.
Check your IGN fuse.
