if the distributor goes bad then u probably wont get a spark.
all the spark plug wires go to the distributor.
That's not really what's going on. The coil makes the spark, the distributor distributes the spark to the correct plug. If the distributor is not in the correct position, the spark does not go to the correct plug, or goes to the correct plug at the wrong time.
One end goes on the spark plugs, the other goes on the distributor cap.
Get the proper replacement wires. One end goes on the spark plug and the other goes on the distributor cap. They are connected to the distributor cap in order,so do not place one out of sync.
It would be a vented opti spark.
One goes to the ignition, the other two to the spark plugs.
you have the wiring from the 84 caprice which should be a purple wire that goes to the I spot on the starter solinoid then the thick cable that goes from the starter to the battery and dont forget the distributor plug and then the car will start from the ignition
Look at the spark plugs-- if one has no wire at the top, that is the problem- there should be a wire from each spark plug to the distributor cap.

chances are if there is no spark then the ignition module inside the distributor needs to be replaced as far as checking it goes just pop the module out and autozone or advance auto may be able to tell u where to take it to have it tested
That's not a hose, It's the main spark plug wire that goes to the center position on the distributor. That is how the spark gets to the distrubutor to be sent to the plugs.
