Default 1989 Iroc Z with no spark

Hello everyone. Although I'm new here I'm not new to the Camaro. This is my fifth on in fact, but I have yet to encounter this problem. I have no spark at all. New cap, rotor, coil and the ignition module was tested and proved in good working order. There is 12 volts to the distributor as well. Plugs are new and wires are new as well. So there ya have it folks...I'd sure be grateful for any ideas. At this point I don't know weather to just replace the entire distributor or what.

When did you check for voltage to the distributor, when the key was in the "run" position, or in the "start" position (while cranking)? If you didn't check while cranking, do that. If it then turns up dead at the distributor, I'd suspect a bad ignition switch, which is located on top of the steering column, down towards the firewall.

I have not checked it while cranking the engine yet. Will do that today. Thanks for the idea.
