where are you located? and how did you test for spark? by pulling a plug, grounding it and turning the key? maybe the wire was bad... possibly bad distributor coil... not sure where you live, or how maintained your car is, BUT around here, a bad distributor cap seal will lead to corroded points in no time, alot of salt water in the area... or one of the most overlooked things, FUSE... is the ignition wire connected to the distributor? you have probably already checked, but gotta start somewhere...

Well one of the first things I would do is figure out why there was water in the cylinders. I would definitely fix that before you hydro-lock the engine and damage a lot of stuff. Could be head gaskets, rain water down the carb (if not covered), or cracked head or block if only water was used to cool (or weak coolant mix) and it froze over winter. After fixing that, if it's not a catastrophic failure, clean the plugs good or replace them. Then check to make sure the distributor is getting power, if it is check the ignition module.
