no spark?

ok so i was driving on christmas and my car just turned off as i was getting on the freeway onramp. and the piece connecting the throttle lever to the carburetor came off too and i had no gas pedal. so i hooked that back up and tried to start it again but no luck. its cranking but wont start, so i tried starter flui in the carb, didnt work. then i tried turning the key on and spinning the fan, while i had a multimeter on the coil, it went to 12v and then to 0 as its spose to so i beleive the points and condenser are ok yea? so then i pulled the middle wire from the dist coming from the coil and put it near a ground and when i cranked it, it sparked, so i pulled the first spark plug wire and tried to crank it and i got a spark the first time, then i tried again and again and no spark, so i tried plug 2 and no spark either, i just replaced the cap and rotor which appeared to be good and its still cranking but not starting and im still not getting a spark. any ideas? can i pull a spark plug out and crank it and see if it sparks or will i screw something up? and should i not try pumping the gas? because i pumped it a buncha times trying to start it already.

thanks.
