Grand national will not start

Purchased a 1985 Grand National. The car has not been in use for a long time. I can not get the car to crank. Put new coil and still will not start.

Yes, it is spinning over but it will not fire. Not firing out of the spark plug.

No snapping blue spark continue to troubleshoot the ignition system-power input to the coil/coil packs,coil's resistances,cap and rotor,distributor pick-up coil, ignition control module, cam and crank sensors and computer Note: If it doesn't apply disregard it and keep testing
