Just an add-on to Phil's good suggestions.

If you have no spark from the coil wire, pulling a plug can get you closer to the cause. If you have fuel on the plug, the trouble will be from the ignition amplifier (ignitor) module forward to the coil and distributor. But if you don't have any fuel on the plug, you can be pretty certain the spark trouble is between the crank position sensor and the amplifier module, sometimes called the power stage.

The signal which triggers the power stage is the same signal that times the injector squirts.

Of course all of this troubleshooting assumes you did as Phil originally suggested and verified these things are getting power from the battery. Power source is first step.
