Default No spark from coil

Hey guys I have a 1995 discovery one 3.9l. I have no spark to any plugs and no spark from the coil. What are some test I can do to determine where the issue is? Thanks

Do you have 12v at the coil with the key on? If so then the next thing to check would be the ignition amplifier, followed by the rotor.

Ok I performed all 7 tests on the rave manual and it passed with flying colors just now spark still. Bit the bullet and sacrificed my meter to check the voltage coming out of cable going to distributor. Only got 12volts. Where it should be like 30,000 correct? I’m thinking bad coil?
