unless you saw the dizzy's working dont second guess your work.

dizzy's are one of the biggest pains in the *** with these cars i find, aside from the main relays aswell.

is it just spark your not getting?
all the stuff was switched around like normal and you added the extra ecu wire to the dizzy?

You will not get spark if they are backwards.

I doubt it's the distributor, because i've already tried three different SI distributors and it's the same thing again.

I'm pretty sure we messed up somewhere.

make sure all the harness plugs are clicked together also are you using a clip up to obd1? if you are you have to use a obd1 ecu and obd1 dizzy.The obd0 dizzy will not run a obd1 engine with obd1 ecu
