Need help with no spark

We tried running a daisy chain of banana jumper wires from the ecu box screw to the battery ground - still no spark...

We tried another distributor and it did spark, but since it was the ones that are clocked 90° off, we redid the wires on the cap to match the new rotor position, and then no spark...

Is there a way to test the control boxes, distributor pick-up, coil, and ballast resistor to determine if they work properly or not? AutoZone? O'reily's??? Would they have a tester that could help us???
