If no power at blue wire but power at red wire you have a bad keyswitch.
The gap at the spark plugs should be 0,025-0,028 in (0,7 mm).
have you tried to check for spark at the ignition coil as I suggested in an earlier post?
Put a HT wire in the coil output and hold the end about 1/4 in from the block and then crank it over or open and close the points by hand with the keyswitch in RUN position.
If everything is okey it should spark. If it spark then the distributor is the culprit.

I have power on to ignition now.. the brand new coil i bought tested 12v but theres no output i put a wire and i tried getting spark off any piece of metal and there isnt anything coming out the output. This is a "Standard automotive coil" so im returing this and buying a high preformance msd coil.. everyrhing seems fine so it has to be the coil.
All cylinders have compression of roughly 120-125 psi
Hopefully this should be my last step getting a good brand ignition coil. Do you recommend any brand?

Okey check for power (12VDC) at the terminal at distributor where the white/black wire goes and then the positive terminal at the ignition coil.
If no power at white/black wire at distributor terminal but power at positive terminal at coil, then you have a bad coil.
Power at white/black wire but no spark you have bad points or a bad condenser.
