It is probably the Ignition Control Module. This took the place of the point system.

Ok, take the distributor cap off, grab a hold of the rotor and see if you can turn it like 30 to 45 degrees. If you can then the distributor gear pin is sheared.

Ok, so why did you replace the computer? I suspect there is not 12V to the coil. So the coil, ignition control module, and the pick-up coil is all new? And you are checking for spark at the coil wire? Put a spark plug in the end, makes it easier.

Need to verify that the coil has 12V going to it. Turn the key on and use a test light or volt meter.

Your killing me here...should have spark. All I can think of at this point is to put back in your old computer, if that doesn't work, then maybe a faulty ICM. Would have to take it out and get tested.

Before u remove it check the ground wire or add a ground wire from battery to distributor body just to test it
