What Stumpy said & it may just be a coincidence that the dist pickup died right in the middle of this. Do you have another parts dist that you can plug in & spin it by hand & see if that gives you fire. With your VOM see if you have continuity at the pickup

Did you clean the mounting area for the ECU to ensure a good ground?
Yeah, everything is grounded real well. What about the ignition switch wiring? There is no spark out of the coil when trying to start the car by the switch, but if the dist. is un-plugged and put a jumper wire in the plug that goes to the ingnition box then we'll get saprk out of the coil.

First thing to check is there fire at the coil positiuve while cranking normally.
I will have to check, what should I be looking for if there isn't?

Start at the bulkhead & see if you have fire there while someone turns the key to start(if your starter is cranking OK you can temporarily take off the brown wire at the starter relay to disable it until you get the ign problem solved) and if no fire at the specific bulkhead terminal(both sides) go backwards to the ign sw & if you do trace forward towards the coil & check each connection
