Default 94 B350 won't start

I have a 94 B350 with a 360CI that just stopped. It didn't sputter out, it just stopped and would not restart. It cranks fine, has no codes showing, there is 40psi at the fuel rail, spark at the plugs... but somehow won't even try to start.
I sprayed ether in it incase it was the injectors not spraying, but still no change. the plugs are not fouled, but come out wet; but if I stick them into their wire and ground them they spark when I crank it. The spark looks like it may be small but its blue.
Is it possible for a coil to go with out going completely? If the plugs are fireing, it should do SOMETHING when I driddle gas down the throttle body... but no, this has no effect.
I am out of ideas, any help is appreciated.

thanks

Yep --- try a new coil -- only about $40 and about 30 mins to replace it.

In order of likelihood: distributor cap & rotor, ASD relay (see the sticky), crank pickup sensor, or the distributor pickup coil, also known as a cam sensor or stator.

yep, it was the coil. Even though it was sparking, it was too weak. I took it off to check the resistance and the steel wafers of the coil pack were swolen. Fired right up on the new one. It was a mopar coil, possibly the original, and I got 250k miles out of it.
