Pulled into a gas station 80 miles into a road trip, tried starting the car again and it rolled over but never caught. Later found that I had no spark at plugs. Back tracked to check the distributor and cap and found no current coming from ignition module (is that the right term) there is fuel pressure.

What should I check next? All fuses look okay.

Scour interwebs for the wiring diagram, find the 12V at the ignition module and trace it backwards to the break
