Default 98 civic b16 swap no spark HELP

Just bought this car for dirt cheap ran good once it was up to temp but runs like crap until then but now all the sudden it won't start the wiring is a disaster to say the least but I know I don't have any spark I do have power at the distributor but not coming out any suggestions? It ran until I pulled the plugs to see if they were fouled out now nothing not sure if I bumped something or what but its driving me nuts

Trying to start / run with a spark wire disconnected is prone to blow the coil.

Has motor has been swapped? if so is it converted to obd1? If not do you have access to any kind of scan tools that display live data?
