No spark

1995 Chevy Geo Metro mileage: 127,000. I just recently replaced the head gasket on my geo, I flushed the system and filled the cooling system with 50/50 antifreeze. That night I was driving the car and I got about two blocks from home and the car died. The engine turns over but there is now no spark going to the distributor. I am at a loss as to where to check now. I have checked all fuses but not sure of any possible in-line fuses under the hood.

Check the timing belt, as it may not have been properly tightened when the head gasket was replaced.
