Ignition problems.

Hey everyone- hope you're all healthy. I'm stuck at home in PA due to our Governor's lock down order, so I've had some time to put in under the hood.
Ever since I swapped out my points for electronic ignition, I've had nothing but troubles. It's gotta be me. I never did like messing with electrical. Until recently, I was usually messin with Chevrolet engines. Until I stumbled upon a 1967 Barracuda. I never really had a problem with GM electronics, and have converted points to electronic a few times. But Mopar has been perplexing me.
I started out purchasing a Petronix kit for the 318 distributer and installing it. Well it was okay, but didn't seem to run as well as the stock/points distributer. So after readjusting, and trying to time it, and bla bla bla, I scrapped that idea, and purchased the system with a brand new distributer and the "orange box". Still no satisfaction. I ended up talking with my mechanic, who thought it might be the carb was shot. It was running very rich. In fact, it had to run rich to keep it running. So, after installing a Holley 600 dbl pumper, it ran worse than ever. I still agree though, that the new carb was needed.
Aggravated, I looked around for a better solution to the ignition problem and found this posting on Slant Six Forum: HEI Electronic Ignition Retrofit How-To - Slant Six Forum
Now that seemed like the simplest solution to my ignition problem- easy peezy! Well, after carefully and methodically creeping my way through the process explained in the article, I was all fired up to fire it up! Turned the key, and cranked her over. And over...and over. No ignition. I had my son check for spark and turned her over. None. Went over the wiring to make sure everything was correct. Yes, correct. What the hell.
Anyone have any suggestions? I'm assuming the article is legit...
