Rotor, Cap, Plug wires, coil wire, Spark plugs. I had magnecore wires come apart at the plug connectors.

When's the last time you replaced your ignition components? One of the most common problems with the older cars is that owners don't change the ignition components often enough. Some more info here: Porsche 911 Ignition Tune-Up | 911 (1965-89) - 930 Turbo (1975-89) | Pelican Parts DIY Maintenance Article. Good luck! Hope you get it figured out quickly.

If no spark check the flywheel sensors. I'll bet one of those has given up the ghost.
