Umm.. assuming it is not under distributor cap, and that you tested for the spark from the coil and got none, I would check the coil and the igniter. The easiest way to do it would be to take the coil and the igniter from a friends car and plug it into yours. Alternatively, you can get specs for the coil from the net or a repair manual and test the coil with the ohm meter. Try autozone.com for free online repair guides.

But first and foremost, I would check all the wire connections. Maybe something is loose after reassembly.
