Default 89 Dakota 3.9 no spark has fuel

My sons truck just stopped working.
Changed the coil and magnetic pick-up under the distributor, checked ASD relay, still no spark coming out of the coil, have 12 volts at the coil.
Any help would be great.

ok, you have power at the coil but do you have a solid ground?
