Not getting spark.

I cant seem to get a spark for the engine to fire over. I had it running and it never had a problem starting up. Tap the ignition switch over and it would start up real quick like it should. Now all that happens is it just turns over. The choke light lights up while cranking. Oil pressure gauge doesn't move so I'm not sure if its cutting the power or what. I have power going to the coil. I just replaced the cap, rotor, module, coil and a set of plugs. I didn't change the pickup coil. I think I might try and put a good non ESC distributor in to see if that is the problem or not. It gets plenty of gas, it gas fouls the plugs from not firing. It could be the timing chain loose but it started way to good before to be that I would think. I haven't pulled the plug and ground it out to see if it is sparking or not but Its hard to do that being the only person working on it. Did take a test light to see if I would light up tho when cranking it over. Had the plug wire off and the metal probe point on the inside of the boot where the metal is and the other end was ground.

Its a stock 305 in a 1986 3/4 ton.
