No spark but coil is good. Suggestions?

I started my IROC yesterday but after 5 seconds it sputtered and died and now just turns over.
I checked and dont have any spark so I replaced the coil. Unfortunately that didnt fix anything. What else can cause a lack of spark that I should check?
No CEL light or codes either...
HELP!!

Ill just replaced the coil that sits next to the distributor but will replace the pickup coil tomorrow. Are those the only two things that can cause lack of spark or are there any relays?

Ive checked all fuses and they are good. Hopefully the pickup coil is my culprit.
