Default Jeep won't start

I replaced the coil, spark plugs, rotor, and the distributor. Getting no fire to the plugs, I checked all the fuses, they are ok. I left work last night and the Jeep started fine, no issues coming home. When I went to go to work today, the Jeep wouldn't start, so I replaced all these parts. I am stumped with what's going on. Can someone help me please. It is a 1993 jeep cherokee sport.

Maybe the Crank Position Sensor? That is a common cause of no spark on Cherokees. Anyone else? Oh and double check the fuses. The last 2 times I had a no spark issue it turned out a fuse had blown and one time I could have sworn I checked them all and they were fine. One of the large ones kept blowing because of a grounded hot wire.

I believe driver side right on top of the bell housing. Were the engine and tranny meet. Theres probably a cover on it. (Should be) Its a pain getting to. Get it by hand after you bust it loose.
