Okay thought I had a blown head gasket but car was running, went to replace gasket found cracked head, replaced head, timed her and buttoned her up. Now im not getting any spark. Any ideas?

Have the ignition coil tested. It is quite common for them to fail.

The coil has 12v going to it and 12v coming out of the secondary. Im taking the distributor (coil is internal) to a parts store to have it tested I don't trust my multimeter with resistance will get back with results.

Remove the distributor and with the wires plugged in, ground the distributor to body and turn the rotor at the end. If there are no sparks, the ignition oil should be faulty.
