You say your replaced distributor? Did you replace just the cap/rotor, or the entire unit which includes the crank/cam sensors and ignition control module?

The ignition control module has to recieve a signal from both sensors before it will fire. So either a sensor is bad or the control module failed. You'll have to test one at a time to narrow it down.
