First there is no pick up coil that distributor has a plug connector but there is no wire the distributor is only used to distribute the spark to the plugs as it spins it has no bearing on spark. The front of the engine has the teeth on the side there is a crank sensor as the engine spins it creates and ac analog signals it then is sent to the ecm then the coil is fired to the distributor and to the plugs if you have no spark make sure your power relay is good and look at the crank sensor if all is good it is possible the spectrem ecm is the problem or wiring
