are your dash lights (check engine light, brake light, battery light) coming on? is your fuel pump buzzing when you turn the key?

just double checking, are you sure it is a no spark issue? maybe confirm it with fuel in the intake or starting fluid. if your sure it's no spark. the pick-up coil/cam sensor in the distributor is about all thats left. is the rotor turning?

heat up the computer with either a heat gun or CAREFULLY with a handheld torch, wait a couple minutes and try it. it could be your computer. thats the problem i had. i went through the whole ignition system throwing parts at it and nothing worked. i heated up the computer and sure enough it fired right up. got a computer from a kid in my offroad club and bam, havent had a problem since.
