No spark(wont start)

I put a msd 6a on ,Then it would not start. So i disconnected the msd and put everthing back like it was,(to see if coil was bad)Bought a new coil to be sure still wont start.I have power to the pink wire to the coil.Used a jumper to see if i was getting spark form coil.No spark!!!So if am getting power to the coil (from the pink wire)Should i not get spark?
I put a jumper in coil wire from the coil to seee if i had and spark.I didnot have spark? HELP PLEASE!!!!iT DONT MAKE SENCE.

Did you replace the distributor? I replaced all ignition components on my 88 and turned out to be the pick up coil on the distributor. Just a thought.
