Help! No fire up!

So i just put a tpi engine into a shell and ive wired up everything. But, it isnt turning over. The dome light and power locks work except they are very weak. The radio works perfectly and the fuel pump and windshield wiper motor are working too. The starter is good I tested it and its getting power. What are some possible problems? Im pretty sure all my grounds are connected...

Re: Help! No fire up!

I found the problem, it was a connector under the dash that needed a jumper cap to connect the two wires. Now its cranks but the coil has no spark, but the wires and plugs are brand new and the distributor is about 4 months old and was working perfectly when it was removed. Tried two coil packs too. Both worked before hand... Im stumped...
