780 not starting 700 1991

I have a 1991 780 turbo, and recently it started to act up. I'd be driving and the car would begin to buck a tad. Then it just stalled out completely. At first I thought it was part of the fuel system, so I put in some fuel additives and filled up on Shell's V-performance(also has additives). Ran fine, no issues at all. Well now it seems I have no spark whatsoever. I have fuel in my fuel rail, and I've tested the fuel injectors, they're getting a signal each time I try to turn it over. So I tested the spark plugs with an inline spark tester. No spark. Tested the coil, no spark. So I guess, I'm just hoping someone could give me some pointers into this mystery, also does anyone know of the best locations to test the ignition system? The OBD1 unit hasn't thrown a single code either. Thanks
