This has the same system as my 91 300SL. One ignition coil behind the left headlight area and a distributor cap on one of the cams.

Recently we replaced the spark plugs and O2 sensor, but that doesn't seem relevant

None of these would cause the problem you have.

Don't bother looking at the spark plug end of things yet, use the ignition wire from the coil to test for spark. ( the one that runs from the coil to distributor. ) Use a spark gap and don't hold onto any metal.
DO NOT USE A MULTI METER TO CHECK FOR SPARK WHILE CRANKING AT MINIMUM YOU WILL DAMAGE THE METER. THERE IS ALSO A RISK SEVERE INJURY / DEATH.
You can use the ohms function to check for a broken coil wire when both ends are removed and away from the car.

I{f you are not getting spark from the coil , everything past that isn't important at this time.
