Tell your dad that the prudent (although not necessarily most exciting) way 
to check for spark is to start at the spark plugs and then work your way to 
the coil. Just hold it 1/8" from the block and look for a spark.

But since your not sparking at all, I'd think that the coil isn't being 
"told" to fire by the hall sender. I assume the coil was fine before, and 
that you didn't mess with any of it's wires.

Hall Sender (n)- delicate electronic component inside distributor that 
ultimately causes the coil to fire a spark. Plug is located on the side of 
the distributor.

Mucking with the cap/rotor, etc can crap out the wires. Check that it is 
plugged in, too.
