How can you tell if the ignition control module is bad?

I done a simle tune up. i got it all changed spark plugs, wires, rotor button, distributor cap, now it cranks but wont start. getting good fire from coil just none from distributor to plugs?How can you tell if the ignition control module is bad?
Double check to see if your rotor and cap are both seated correctly.How can you tell if the ignition control module is bad?
take out all the guess work out of it take it to like a auto-zone they test it for freeHow can you tell if the ignition control module is bad?
If you had a bad ignition control module you wouldn't get any spark from the coil at all. Your problem lies in the wires. Either the coil wire is not inserted all the way at both ends which is why there is no power at the distributor or some of the wires are switched. I am thinking the wires are switched or not inserted all the way and are not making a good contact. Sure to make sure they are all making contacts.
