86 pickup no spark
so i was driving and my truck died, figured out the timing chain had jumped and towed it home and did a new timing chain and water pump, still didnt run. redid the timing chain and still nothing only to find out im not getting spark. where do i start checking? replaced the ignition coil about a year ago so what else should i check before just wasting money and replacing stuff? i need this done!

To start, got power to ignition circuit?
Check if you have 12V on Black wire with red stripe (B-R) enclosed in yellow in pic below:
How sure are you that you used good ignition coil?
No spark out of ignition coil (before distributor) or no spark to spark plug?
Checked resistance of your high-voltage ignition wires?
Check resistance of signal generator (pickup coil)? 140-180 ohms
Many more to check...
