If it were me I'd do coil, dist cap, and rotor all at one shot based on what you're describing.
But then again, I live out in the boonies, hour and a half round trip to the parts store. If you have one 3 blocks down the street, start with the cap and rotor.
(Basic troubleshooting strategy. When you have a problem with several possible causes, start with the cheapest and/or easiest first, then go from there...)

But, yes, with no spark to any of the 8 wires, the coil sounds very likely. That's why I said I'd probably just do them all at once.

Thanks for all the suggestioons guys 
so I threw a spark plug in the wire that runs from the coil to the dist.. And there was only spark if I held it right on a bolt and it wasnt a strong spark at all. Shouldnt the spark coming from,the coil be pretty strong ?
The parts store is only half a mile away so ima try one at a time since this d has all ready burned a hole in my wallet LOL I guess ill go grb a new coil and then ill up date and let yall no if it worked

Werd sucks when they get the fix and leave us wondering...
In other news we had a 99 4x4 D at the car lot we picked up off an individual for $1,500. No fuel/fire. I replaced the CPS to the tune of $40 and bought a rivet gun for re doing the fender liner ( $27 with plastic rivets). Now we have a $4K car on the lot and it took an hour to fix it.
The rivets make it look real professional too.

Now the only prob im having is the gas gauge 
when it hits a lil under half tank .... Im outta gas then when I fill it up it stays on full way longer then it should .... Any ideas im guesing the sending unit for tje fuel pump is shot .. Does that mean my pump will be going out soon ? I bought some heat gas treatment im hopein that will fix it lol
