For some reason I'm not getting spark, I just replaced the crank sensor and I'm still not getting any spark from the coil, and yes the coil is good, rest of the ignition is newer too, what other sensors would go bad that would cause no spark?

You say the coil is good, are you getting signal to the coil? if so it could be a bad cap & or rotor, is the distributor turning?

Do yourself a big favor and just return the one you got and get yourself an OEM one. As you have found out first hand after market ones very rarely work and if they do they have a very short lifespan.
