Default Ditributor issues

Hello, my 1990 Honda civic EX has a ZC 3rd gen engine swap, just by the way. The other day my car died in the middle of the road where I discovered that I was getting no spark. When I pulled the plug wires from the distributor cap I discovered that the male connectors ends on the wires were all corroded and the rotor had some wear so naturally I replaced them. After their replacement I still got no spark. So I pulled the coil and the ignition control unit that are located in the distributor itself and took them to O'Rieleys to be tested the ignition control unit tested faulty and the coil appeared to be fine. So bought a new ignition control unit and still no spark. I tested several different wires that kinda told me that there is in 12 volts going in but I'm only getting 8-9 volts out of the coil whereas it should be 24k + volts. I am very stuck and don't know what to do next, any thoughts?
