wont start now

i have a 76 f-100 with a 351w with a mallory dist. and ballast resistor. i have started it several times but it wasnt charging so i replace the voltage regulator it still wasnt charging so i bypassed the regulator like it showed it acted like it was going to charge but after it died it wouldnt start again. i have also replace the solenoid, and the module i have 12 volts at the coil but no spark through the coil. i have replaced the coil and checked all the fuses but i cant find any reason it wont start now.

Sounds to me like its a bad coil,is it a stock replacement? do you have a tach? Maybe the brain?
