#237641 Why did you replace the dizzy? if your old one worked before, I'd swap it back in first and see if that solves it. No spark at all could be a faulty coil or ICM, both of which are built into the distributor.

#238538 If the main relay was bad the car wouldn't crank. Happened to mine recently. Also replaced ignitor and coil because they were going too. Check your grounds maybe ... that can cause loss of spark right?

Not cranking depends on where its bad at. If the fuel injection circuit is cut it will still crank (I think that's the black/yellow wire).
