Answer
Egan,

The crank angle sensor could be defective.  Also, check the fuse links at the positive battery cable and make sure the one feeding the ignition circuit is good.  Also, check the fuses for one that feeds the ignition.  You can check to see if you are getting current to the coil by getting a test light and having someone turn the key to run and to start while you tough the point to the positive side of the coil and connect the ground clip to the engine block.  If you get fire to the coil then it is a problem within the distributor.  If the distributor is new you should remove the cap and inspect it for proper installation.
