unless your fuel is crazy out you should be getting at least t some hits....Too many times I have seen guys scratching their heads for days because they got the wires wrong....but first...you do have spark when you crank? ie you pull the main lead from the dizzy, put it close to a good ground, run the starter and you get lots of good healthy sparking? If yes, really go to the basics on your timing, the firing order etc.... a real back to basics re TDC on #1, direction the engine rotates, and the direction the dizzy turns, and which cyl fires next. Personally I have always been super careful not to mix it up, but with all the new stuff you have installed it is easy to get something backwards.
