Default no spark? 94 integra ls

my car crapped out on the way home from work last nite.... i was drivin along just fine (just bought a full tank 6 miles before) and the rpms dropped the car bogged a bit so i put the clutch in to downshift... when i put the clutch in, rpm's went to zero, popped the clutch back out and it went up again.... i got kinda nervous so i pulled over and the car hasnt started since...

i changed the fuel filter... it wasnt time by the book but when i emptied it, the gas inside was brown :nervous:

so after that, i put the fuel line in a jar, turned the key to on.... and the jar filled up with gas... the gas in the jar looked good no water droplets or anything.

changed the plugs and wires, gapped the plugs correctly, they are at about .041 and my owners manual recommends .039 to .043

so anyway the car turns, i know it is getting gas... it just isnt catching.... i unplugged one spark plug wire, took teh spark plug out and plugged it in, and had my mom turn the car over while i watched for spark... nothing.... i wasnt sure if i had to ground it so i did and still nothing.... so im thinking the distributor ignitor is dead, any suggestions?
