check if your getting power to the coil,if you are,check the earth strap to the engine is in good condition, how do you know there is no spark from the coil?did you pull the centre lead off the distributor and hold it near the engine block as you got some one to turn over the engine?

I think you should be concentrating on the right hand side of the second diagram - Capacitor - Circuit Breaker - 2x Earth connections.

Good luck...
