Default No spark

I tried starting my truck for the first time the other day and found that none of the spark plugs were doin there job. i traced it back to the positive and negative connectors on the coil and found they werent getting any "juice". the battery is new and it cranks, and everything down to the lights and windshield wipers work. Any ideas?

When my ECM went out I got no spark, but I didn't think to check voltage at the coil. It might kill the coil voltage as well. Not sure on TBI ones but the ecm off my 86 was about $30 iirc.
