If you are getting spark from the coil, then the problem is in the distributor. Remove the distributor cap and have a helper crank the engine. Is the rotor turning?

Is there an ignition module. It would be on the dist. If there is you can take it off and auto zone can check it. But if it is bad and you get a new one have it checked also before you leave store. Happened to me. I bought a new one put it on but same problem. The new one was no good. You might also have to by a tool to take it off. Good luck.
