Default Got No Spark Need Help!!!

I have a 95 Buick Roadmaster and it has no spark. I just replaced the opti spark thinking it was that but still nothing. The car has spark at the coil but does not have spark at the plugs. If anyone has any ideas i would appreciate your help thanks Matt.

stock ignition? I've seen msd boxes that give those symptoms and still no fire at the plugs... I'd try a new coil might not be hot enough... Opti sound like it's working fine...

How did you verify spark at the coil?
Maybe a bad coil wire?

I would try this test:
