no spark

well 4 years and a few months ago my dad rearended a dude smashing up his 95 f-350 with the 460. he bought it back after it being totaled out and now has gotten around to fixing the truck. body is ready for the paint shop, but he hasnt been able to start it yet casue of no spark.
he checked the coil, the control module which sits on the inner drivers fennder, both are good. a friend of his, a friend of mine and my dad and me all checked, double checked for any missed grounds, bad wires etc. i'm thinking somthing in the distrubtor but my dad is unsure, anyone have any ideas what it could be other than the distibutor.
