Stalled and crank but no start

Hi,

For some reason, the pic didn't attach. There really isn't a lot in this distributor, so I'm not sure what they are recommending.

As far as no spark, have you checked the ignition coil?

I attached a pic below showing the distributor. What are they suggesting?

Now, here are directions for testing the ignition coil. Do this and let me know what you find. The attached pics correlate with the directions. This is the only part I can think of that would require you to replace the distributor. If this is the issue, the distributor needs replaced.
