What has the mechanic done so far to fix the issue.

Can you clarify no spark but power is coming out of the distributor a little better.

Some of these circuits are separate from the others as such reads like a wiring issue.

the mechanic replaced the alternator and thats all.
he checked the wiring to the distributer but there is no spark going through the spark plug leads
he checked the 2 wiring plugs that are on the side of the distributer. he put a screwdriver in the spark plug lead and turned the key and there was no spark
