Car has no spark, has power to the coil but no power to the distributor. Distributor does have ground. All fuses are good, cap &rotor are new. The car quit after driving into a puddle after a storm. Please help

It souinds like water got into one of your harness connectors, check as many as you can find, unplug and dry them out, look even at the connectors to the transmission.
