I worry when rattles stop

I have a 91 4.0 that died on me on the way home. It seemed to be running fine and then all of a sudden I had no power and I was fortunate enough to coast it into a parking lot. I have checked and I am not getting any spark. I replaced my plugs, plug wires, dist cap, and rotor about a month ago with all Accel brand components. Sunday I replaced the distributor itself with one from Advance Auto and it started and ran fine until now. I only have 17 miles on the new distributor.
I am guessing I either have a bad distributor or I am reading and hearing that it could be the crank position sensor. I looked through my Haynes manual and found the procedure for checking the CPS (3 wire) but couldn't figure out which was terminal A and B so I checked all 3 combinations and they all gave me an open reading. I am not getting any check lights and I don't have any way to see if it is throwing codes. Does this sound like a CPS or a distributor or should I be checking something else?
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated
