You have a lot on  your plate, but for future reference, you should check
for spark from the coil into the distributor before looking at individual
cylinder spark. Its just a better first step because then you can say for
sure that the coil is not producing a spark, rather than maybe a cylinder
wire, or even the rotor or cap being bad.

Not wishing to be persnikity, just wanted to point that out.
