You say the ignition coil is working?
How have you tested it?
If the coil is working correctly, and the distributor is actually turning round, you should definitely get a spark at the plugs
Unless all of the ht leads had failed at once...

Have a look at this, it might help.

Or try this from the Suzuki SJ manual.

Where are you not getting the spark, I'm assuming at the plugs. If you have just changed the dizzy cap make sure that the carbon brush is contacting to the rotor pull it out a little. Had this on a very old maestro once

put on a new rotor and points too, this way you won't have too many problems in the future, and it's cheap, just make sure you set the correct points gap
