Hook a timing light up to the "coil to cap" spark plug wire and try cranking it...

No flash means no spark... That way you know your problem is with the coil or before it...

Also, if you have a tachometer hooked up, check the wire to make sure it didn't short out anywhere, which will kill the engine. May as well check out that Pertronix ignition to make sure no wires are accidentally grounded to the distributor body.
