replaced cap and rotor,wires,and coil and still no spark. I did notice when replacing the coil that there was a small amount of oil in the distributor pooled up on the bottom. I cleaned it all out before putting it back together. Would the oil damage the distributor?

Could short out the distributor pick-up coil that provides the Ne and G signals to tell the computer to fire the coil or the Ignitor itself.
