cranks but no spark at coil

Hi, hoping for guidance. Ive tried/cursed and researched several days now.
Its on my 84 360 Dodge D150.
I "borrowed" distributor from truck for the cuda to diagnose an issue I was having woth cuda.
Cuda problem solved and truck sits for 6-8 weeks (if not more) before I get the distributor reinstalled in truck.
A simple but very frustrating/awkward/cursing adventure.
I noted orienation of rotor and vac can prior to removal and reinstalled to same orientation.
Now I can't get spark from coil.
I tested 2 coils and with both i got 9K ohms on coil center post to either outside terminals.
So I assume coils good?
Ohmd the ballast resistor(and a spare one) unhooked and got 1.2 ohms approx.
So I assume good?
Ive done LOTS of continuity tests lol cuz the "beep" makes me feel good.
Cranking engine gives no spark from coil but when turning key off it seems to wanna start.
Factory elec ign 360 4 bl auto.
Thanks! I have meter and factory manual.
Thanks
Steve
You have no power at the brown wire to the coil side of the ballast, why is what You need to find out. Check for B+V at the column connection, both sides, same at the
bulkhead on the firewall. Just unplug the starter relay so You can hold the key in the crank position while You check...................

Oh POOP!, not the 'cuda the tk.................well nevermind! Same prob., diff. wire colors/routing :)
