Ignition Coil Wire, Distributor Cap, Distributor button* not sure if that's the actual term but its the thing that spins around to make contact with the points in your distributor to fire the spark plugs. Any of those would be good to start checking if your not getting current at the distributor.

Its called the distributor rotor, usually when you do a tune just tell them you need the cap and rotors for short. Also does the car crank and did you check if it has spark? Any fuel comming out (do you hear the fuel pump humming) when the key is in the "on" position?
