No spark problem, 86 4kq

[Shaggs1996 at aol.com]

I had posted last week about a no start problem after O2 sensor replacement.
Having thought it was fuel, and my friend saying I had spark, I tore the CIS 
apart, cleaned it and reinstalled it. 
With my fathers help today, we figured out there is NO spark.  Used a timing 
light (it works), and checked for current from the cap to cylinder number one, 
nothing.  Then we checked for current from the coil to the cap, nothing 
there!  We then checked the continuity of the coil itself via the bentley manual 
specs, specs are a tad off.  We then toss in another Audi distributor (we tried 
2, actually, both checked out fine), and neither solved the problem.
It appears there is something before the coil thats the problem, but what is 
it?  Control module perhaps?  How to check it?  What would you guys check 
next?  Ignition switch is a month or so old, rotor is a few months old, cap/wires 
are a little over a year old, and plugs are maybe 7 months old.
Thanks for your time and input!
