No power to distributor

Ok, short and sweet. A friends 91 RS 305 TBI. He had a starting issue, replaced cap, plugs, wires. I trouble shot the system, found the fuel pump to be faulty. While trouble shooting I had spark but no fuel because the pump was jacked. Replaced the pump, now we have fuel but no spark. Timing has not been touched in the meantime, checked wires going to dizzy, no power. Fuses are good, as well as every inline fuse I can find. Battery is fresh with a constant 12 volts and minal drop during cranking

Do you have 12V on the pink wire coming out of the Ign switch?
Switch may be faulty

For a 88 TBI
