Did you mix up the 2 white wires to the distributor?

Otherwise the ignition coil inside the distributor could be bad.

Swap the ignition coil with one from another distributor. It is the black part on top, it has 4 screws.

Could also be the ignitor module inside the distributor. It has 4 wires going to it and is held on by 2 screws on the bottom.

Take the 2 wires from the ignitor and hook them up to a low watt bulb then crank engine. If the light flashes then the coil is good. Replace the ignitor and you should be good to go. It happened to me after i did a tune up.
