First off, a distributor doesn't produce spark. It distributes spark. The coil produces spark. Take the coil wire out of the distributor cap and hold it near a grounded part. Turn on the ignition switch. Then take a screwdriver and open and close the points. This should cause a spark from coil wire to ground.
