This is what I would do , if you power the distributor and it does not fire , its a distributor problem, making sure the wire from the selinoid is hooked so that you have power while cranking , if it does fire its a wiring problem , my guess is a wiring problem , as you say there is no power to the distributor . Could be the distributor is hooked to a random fuse , Ive seen that most of the time , check your fuses , the power wire to the distributor does not flash
