Im guessing your next move is to slow down and develop some trouble shooting skills. A harbor freight test light goes a long ways and they start at like $3.99

Maybe,

How do I test that? Pop the distributor cap off, use a light tester and the battery negative?

I don’t have many diagnostic skills, there’s a spark on the outside of the distributor cap that connects to the ignition module. I tried touching my light testers to everything inside the distributor cap and got nothing.

Okay.
turn key to run. Put your volt meter to the ignition coil leads. Is there 12 volts present ?

From the looks of that distributor, you may want to replace it.

Just pull a spark plug wire off and crank it over?

You already know you don't have spark, you just don't know why. Call your local auto parts store and see if they can test your module.

Please reread above.

Furthermore….your coil looks like this.
Looking at carburetor from frt of engine, it is just behind the carb to the right.Puple wire terminal is + and grey wire terminal side is -.
