You may have burnt out the ignition coil. Unfortunately the coil is built into the distributor so you would need to replace the whole unit. See diagram below and here are the instructions to test it.

Measurement of the primary coil resistance Measure the resistance between connector terminals one and two of the distributor.
Standard value: 0.56 - 0.68 Ohm

Measurement of the secondary coil resistance Measure the resistance between the high-voltage terminal and connector terminal one.
Standard value: 9.4 - 12.8 kOhm
