Default 88 dodge caravn no spark

hello all i have a 1988 dodge caravan that has no spark. i have changed the coil mad no difference, i cheaked the plug wires and the plugs, all i have determined is that there is no spark coming from the coil, the only thing i haven't changed is the condenser, and the ignition switch. but it cranks over fine. what had happened was while pulling in the driveway it stalled, so i restarted it to reaim at the driveway and it stalled again so i costed into the driveway. and it would not restart. any ideas.
