Default 1984 Mustang 302 ignition question

Hello,
I have an 85 302 carb motor that is having a no start problem. I have read most of the posts I could find concerning this condition but am unable to find an answer. I get no spark at the plug when connected to the spark plug wire and cranked but, if I connect the plug to the coil lead it will spark, the car has a new cap and rotor. What do I try next? I would like to thank any and all who try to answer.

Tom

If your getting spark at the coil lead and not when it's from the spark plug, you have new cap and rotor but how well is the distributor working?
