1993 civic lost spark

Just got a 1993 civic. Did a tune up (cap, rotor, plugs etc.) Would not start after. I have no spark to the plugs. I do have 12 volts going to the wires at the bottom of the distributor, under the cap. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance'

Yeah , it's probably a bad coil or igniter unit in the distributor (see pictures). Also check whether any wires in the distributor are broken, burned, or disconnected. Does the Check Engine Light remain ON?
