No Spark!

No Spark!
Ok, so finally the two cars into my shop, both 79s non turbos. The one I'm working on has the issue of no spark...I've put another coil in there with a known good one and I've replaced the ignition module (thats the thing behind the drivers side heaflight right?) with a known good one also, but still no spark. What tests can I run to source my problem? Could it possibly be a Crank Sensor issue? Does a 79 have a crank sensor?
Absolutely ANY input would be helpful...
One last note, I tested for voltage at the coil Key On Engine Off and I have 5 volts at the coil. Shouldn't I have 12 there? I know they have a low voltage coil but I would've thought I could have 12 there for start...

RE: No Spark!
Well, after some searching and some hard thinking I came to the conclusion that this car doesn't have a DME relay...because it doesn't ELECTRONIC fuel injection...I feel so very very stupid! I traced my problem down to two things
1, Aftermarket Alarm system with hidden kill switches all over the place - Tracked them down and removed the alarm entirely and re-did the wiring that should be connected.
2, The Distributor took a dump and needed to be replaced! Thank God for parts cars! Car is now up and running and purrs like a kitten...well, it will once I get off of my **** and get the timing right! LOL Whats the timing supposed to be at for a manual transmission vehicle?
All thats left now is to get the interior redone, I have deep red suede and black leather on order so once that arrives I can retrim the seats. Dash needs to be repaired - although I'm thinking I might wrap that in black leather and use deep red stitching, I think that will set it off nicely.
The stereo needs to be installed. I have grabbed off of the showroom a Clarion CD Player which will sit in there VERY nicely...as if it was supposed to be there. Some nice 6.5 components for the the doors and a pair of simple two way 4x6 for the rear panels. Clarion 4channel amplifier and a shallow 10" subwoofer and amplifier for the rear.
Once I have had my way with it it goes to see my detail guy for a new lick of color.
Where is a place I can source some clean looking wheels for this?
