Default No spark in an '89 CRX

I just picked up an '89 CRX HF. The previous owner was on a trip when the car died on him. He had it towed back and hasn't touched it since.

It has fuel pressure, but no spark. The main relay clicks three times as it should. Are there common problems with the distributors or coils on these cars? Is there another relay I'm overlooking?

thanks

Alright, I've got good power to the coil.
When I tested the switching signal the test light lit up but was pretty dim. Does this sound like a bad ignitor or would I get no light at all if it were toast?
