Car cranks. No start.

If I take the plug off the distrubutor and jump the first two wires, I get a spark and the fuel pumps run. I am assuming the hall effect switch is burned out and I need a new switch or a replacement distributor. Any other tests to confirm ?

Car ran great - just wouldn't start after a really damp day or two.

Thanks for any input
