No spark from distributor to coil. I have fuel to throttle body, but no fuel at nozzles. I replaced the coil, and module in distributor. I cranked engine and noticed rotor was not turning, I pulled dist. the gear on bottom of shaft looks ok. Does anyone have an idea what can I check now. Paul

Yup, stick your stethoscope on and touch a valve cover or timing cover and listen for the valvetrain moving. If its not ticking away in there, and the distributor is not turning, then you most certainly broke a timing chain or cam or stripped the gear. That would really suck. Your engine also wont be sucking through the throttlebody when the valves arent working.
