1975 440cid lost spark (Winnebago Chieftain)?

It is a sweet ol' dog and was running just fine when it quit.. we checked the basics and found no

spark... we replaced the ignition control module and carefully checked the 5 pin connector to it and

still no spark.. perhaps a Chrysler tech can offer some insight.. Thanks in advance

Update:

I appreciate the answers and I replaced the pick-up coil... and I am going to go

buy a ignition coil and ballast resistor and coil wire, because I am going to be

several hours from home at various lakes etc... and it will be cheap insurance..

again thank you much...

    My first guess would be a bad ignition coil.

    Other issues could be a bad magnetic pickup in the distributor or a broken wire in the harness

    My guess is this is the old chrysler electronic ignition - the only weak spot is the ballast resistor - this is my guess without knowing anything else and is 80 % of the time the problem on those when there is no spark
