What part do I need to fix the no spark to the engine? Engine turns over, but there is no spark, Also the distributor cap has a crack about 1/2 inch long, Would that affect the spark?

You might want to investigate the cause for that crack, but at the very least you need a new distributor cap. If moisture can get in and cause condensation, that will short out the spark. Check for spark at the end of the coil wire. If you have it there, you likely have no other problem.
