1983 Civic 1500 DX no spark help

So I just got this little beauty but as the title says it’s not getting spark. I have the original manual and have been following along in it testing everything out.
Everything checks out from the battery to the wires. Voltage everywhere but no spark.

list of new parts under the hood:

-New battery
-new coil
-new distributor
-new wires
-new spark plugs

Im not sure where else to look for lack of spark, so any help is appreciated

Re: 1983 Civic 1500 DX no spark help

you have listed everything related, so maybe something inside the distributor is faulty?
reinstall original distributor but swap some of the electrical parts in it form new one? (aftermarket distributors seem to cause issues in hondas)
