No Spark

Hello all;

Just finished putting car back together (took out dash, interior, put in T56) I try to start the car and no spark. Everything worked fine before i did the tranny swap so i'm leaning toward a wiring problem (instead of pickup, dist. module, etc.) since i took the dash out. The only wiring i changed was at the neutral safety switch. I did put on a new coil but didn't help.

My question is: are there a couple of specific wires i can chase to find out if something is disconnected? ie, power wires for the coil, where do they go? is there something simple i may be missing (all fuses look good, EVERYTHING else on car works, lights, gauges, fuel pump, wipers, etc)

Distributor cap is fairly new, car doesn't even try to start, just endlessly turns over.

Any and all help is appreciated

Kyle

The pink/black wire to the ignition coil comes from the ignition switch through the C100 connector. Make sure there is a 12V source on that wire.

Thanks Vader;

I checked continuity and the 12v source and everything checked out so i took the dist. module to my local parts store and it failed! Got a new one and it started right up! I thought it very odd though that it went bad by sitting for 4 months?!!
