1993 eclipse 1.8 L no spark

I am not familiar with the ignition system for this car whatsoever, so please help. The engine turns over, I dont visually see gas coming from the spark plug holes, but I can smell gas and feel the pressure and I am getting compression when we turn it over. I hooked up a spark detector and see no visual spark whatsoever. I cannot find any sort of coil or anything else. the cap and wires seem fine, like I said im not familiar with these engines and i really really do not want to change the distributor. Someone please help, what next?

the coil is inside of distributor. The book also tells you how to check the distibutor to make sure its good or not.
