Car cranks, but no spark

I recently did a belt change on the car and went to start the car but it wouldn’t start. The car started before all of this happened. Checked for spark but there was no spark at all. I checked the coils and they were good. Checked for power and they are getting power as well. My MAF is currently broken as I fiddled with it. This was a big mistake as I broke it. Would the broken MAF cause the car to have no spark?
The car is an 1987 N/A. No mods and completely stock.

Just to be clear, the car will crank, yes?

As a sanity check, please check the engine fuse box and ensure you did not pop a fuse; it is very easy to do when working around the alternator/doing belts. I have had this happen to me before.
The ECU is fused on a different circuit than the coils. Sounds like maybe the ECU fuse is popped. Check EGI COMP fuse first.
