87 nissan maxima clueless

alright i have a long story and hope your ready to listen. my uncle owned the 87 maxima before me for like 2 months after the **** happened. he was at a red light and just about to take off and all the lights came on and the car would not restart at all no crank or nothing.then he decided that i could have it for a first car and ofcourse i fell in love with it 87 nissan maxima's are so nice fully loaded must of been beautiful coming off the lot with 0 miles. my car has 184,241 miles and once i had it towed to my other uncles ive been working on it. so we found out the rotar wasn't turning and the worst this we thought was the belt snapped and we took all the time to do the timing belt what a *****. and finally we opened the timing belt cover and it wasn't snapped only missing teeth so maybe the engine didn't get to messed up. and we replaced the belt. and when gettin to the belt we broke the crankshaft pully (using visegrips to take it off and it chiped so we put the belt on put most of it back and you do not need the crankshaft pully to start it im sure of. so we didnt get to put back the any of the belt with that but it shouldn't be the problem i think... and we tryed to turn her over and nothing but cranking.and no spark. so i went ahead and replaced the spark plugs, rotar, cap, wires, and ignition coil (only the black coil itself, not the metal bracket with the plugs called the transister. and still no spark. and ive been stuck here for a while and im 16 and getting my license soon love to get it running but probobly not well any help is appreciated. thank you tom
