the ignition control module is a classic to fail on these, causing a inexplicable no start or just "died" while driving

I replaced that along with the distributor cap and rotor as well as the spark plugs

Confirmed you have spark? what color, if the coil is bad it may not be enough spark to fire it up (too weak)

Yea what you said my bad. I’ll turn the key I hear it trying to turn over but it’s not getting there

It's either turning over or it isn't. What does "trying to turn over" mean? Is it actually cranking and the starter is turning the engine over? Or something else?

Sounds to me like starter bendix is stuck or a bad starter. You can tap on it with a small hammer a try it and see if that helps it turn over or have someone turn the key to start it and you hit the starter the same time.
