85 G30 won't start

The van was running great going back and forth to work. After a weekend, I get in to start it, it acts like it's about to start then dies.
I pulled the rear driver side plug to check for spark, it's clean and nothing.
I have B+ on both leads going into the distributor cap.
I've replaced the cap, rotor, ignition module and coil and still will not start.
Cranks over just fine.
Any recommendations on what I should check next?
Thanks in advance

Thank you for your reply, I'm at a loss for what the "pick up" is. Would that be what looks like the condenser?
I'm checking youtube, would that be the "pull piece" as some describe it. Connected to the ignition module?
If so, looks like I may have to pull and disassemble the distributor.

Looks like the pick-up is bad, and since it is almost 30y old, the shaft should be warring out fairly soon, so I'm going to replace the distributor since they aren't too expensive.
Thanks again for your help.
