Default No Spark

Here it is. No Spark. 1980 350 HEI. My rotor turns. I replaced the coil,Ignition module,cap, and rotor. I read in the Haynes Manual that if you connect the pickup coil wires (The two wires that connect into the Ignition Module) to an Ohm meter, its supposed to read between 500 and 1500 Ohms. My ohm meter read nothing so I have an open someplace. (If I'm doing this right) Sooo does this mean I have to remove the distributor to replace the pickup coil? Please help--I've never worked on a GM Distributor and would appreciate any input you guys can give. Thanks..
