Can any Dallas FABO members help a guy out??

ok, well I'm having problems getting spark. I've got power to the coil, which is brand new, but I can't seem to get any spark to the distributor. I've got an electronic ignition module, mallory distributor, and MSD coil. This is really my first build so I just don't really know what other relays or whatever I should be checking.

OK, folks, let's see what we can do to help him out. I'll start, but I think we could use a little more info...

Was the car ever running before now, or is this a ground-up build?
If it was previously running, what all was changed prior to its failure?
If it's a new build, have you checked continuity of the wiring between the coil and the distributor?
Do you really mean spark "to" the distributor from the coil, or do you mean spark "from" the distributor to the plugs?
You said the coil is new, but are the ECU and distributor also new?
Make darn sure you have a very good chassis ground.

Maybe this will get a few of our resident gurus awake.
