No spark... might be Ignition module
It's a 90 l98 and the plugs,wires,cap, and rotor are about a year and a half old with maybe 3k miles on them. A couple months ago my brother was driving and I wasn't with him but from what he told me, it just died while in the drive through. I thought maybe the new oil switch failed causing the pump to shut off but I checked the rails and I still get pressure so I checked the plugs and I'm getting no spark. I checked two wires and two plugs and neither had spark. My first hunch is the ignition module but since it's fairly new I didn't want to jump to conclusions. What're your all's input?

You can test your ignition module by disconnecting the 3 pinned connector from the distributor cap and placing a test light between the 2 outer pins. Crank it over. If the lights flashes, the ignition module is good.
