To test the coil for Ohms , you would need a volt, ohm meter. I've had the pick up go bad it's the part that reads the signal from the reluctor ring when it spins.
I'd check continuity on all wires in the distributor,and cap. A wire broken in the jacket can be a real head scratcher. Flex tge wires while watching your meter. I'm suspecting ones open. Just thought of 2 more things disconnect power at the cap,run a jumper from the battery+ or alternator B+ to dist cap try to start it. Verifying you have 12v when cranking,also make sure distributor is actually turning while cranking .
I have replaced all the wires inside the distributor, and a new pigtail coming from the battery, and the one from the module to the cap with the resistor...and it does turn while cranking...
It doesn't have one coming from the battery to the cap it has one from the harness to the cap. Disconnect it make a jumper from the battery + to the cap andctry to start it. If it starts you are losing 12v to the distributor in crank position. You will have to remove jumper to shut the engine off,if that's the problem. You replaced every single wire in the distributor? There isn't one in there at all that was there before the problem started?
