No spark could be caused by several things: no voltage to the coil or ignition system; a bad coil; a bad ignition system; bad pickup coil(s) in the distributor; a bad coil wire; or more serious engine problems such as a broke camshaft or camshaft timing chain. If your distributor is fine and the coil is good as well as the ignition system is in working order, you might check the computer on the side of the air cleaner.

pull and plug vacuum line to spark computer, adjust timing
There is no ignition module on a 1987 5th ave. The spark control computer is on the air cleaner with a vacuum line hooked to it.

A 2004 3.8L does not have a distributor.
It has spark plugs, plug wires, and a distributor.
This is a bad answer because the 1987 fifth ave. doesnot have a vacumn advance on or near the distributer! Pull and plug the vacumn tube going to the distributor. Loosen the distributor hold down clamp, using a timing light on No. 1 spark plug (the front plug on the driver's side of the motor) turn the distributor until desired timing is obtained.
It could be either the crank angle sensor or the distributor module. If it is the distributor module, you have to buy and install a re-man distributor.
It is on the air cleaner. If the sticker is still intact it will say "electronic spark control", or "electronic fuel control" on it. It will have a vacuum line plugged in to it, and a couple of wire harnesses.
There could be a few things on a 1995 Chrysler LeBaron causing the distributor not to have power. But first I would check the spark plugs and see if maybe they have gone bad.
