Default 91 f150 L6 4.9l no start

I have a 91 f150 that was temperamental starting with no spark anywhere when it wouldn't start. It finally gave out on me so I took it through the tests which told me a bad pip sensor. I found a new distributor through O'Reillys with a new cap and rotor included. After installation I have spark at the coil and distributor but not to the plugs. Any ideas what to do or check?

Did you check the rotor after trying to start the engine. It acts like the tip may have broken off the rotor, purely a guess of course. Yes I realize you have a new distributor cap and rotor.

No I haven't but it might be a good place to start. Thanks

I put the cap on backwards and the spline thing that makes it turn busted off.... Ooops! Thanks!
