UPDATE- No spark, but coil and distributer are good? 200 1985

I checked all the wires and all the conections with an ohm meter and a timing gun. the coil is definatly good all the wires are good and the battery is fine. There is definatly no spark reaching the plugs but the rotor and the cap are working fine. The rotor turns when I try to start the car, so its not the timing belt. It appears that there is something wrong inside my distributer it appears to be a hall effect switch of some kind. Do I have to remove the distributer to fix this? And if so how do I do that? If I need to do this would it be easier to replace the whole distributer with one found at a junk yard?
