560 SL won't start. No spark. Coil getting power, changed coil, change ignition module. Still not getting spark to the distributor. Any help would be appreciated.

Would you or anyone know it the normal state of the Crank Position Sensor is -0- resistance ( a total open) & if it was functioning, it would open & close as the crank turns.
