3.1 v-6 92 camaro. Getting good spark from the coil to the distributor. From the distributor to the spark plugs has weak or no spark. Replaced the cap rotor and ignition mod. What else could it be?

It could be a weak coil or anything actually. Check your fuel pressure though as you may be low on pressure an dyour injectors aren't working properly. If you go to the tune up site on here it goes through a step by step on how to check your ignition system, rather than explain on here. It covers all systems so get to yours first you should be able recognize yours.

The coil is brand new and its getting plenty of spark from it. Just the spark plug wires. Arent getting any spark threw them. And there is plenty of fuel pressure.

It has to be sometign in the cap or the rotor itself. It could be shorting out on the distributor shaft. Or your coil wire may be bad as well. EVen though you show a lot of spark at the cap through the wire it may be in a spot where it hits. Try sanding the contacts inside the distributor cap as they may have some lacquer or something on them not letting the spark go through it. Check the rotor and dist cap for cracks as well as that may be another thing that is causing this.
