Default changed ignitor and coil now car wont start

I changed out the ICM and the coil this morning and the car wouldnt start
then I put the ones in that were working and it wont start

I have power to the coil

whats going on?

I thought I might have accidentally got the dizzy 180 degrees wrong even tho I paid attention to it

it doesnt seem to go in the other way

new ngk iridium and ngk wires

I paid close attention when changing the icm

The test light lights up or both the neg and pos side of the coil
That's odd

Yes cranking but not running

Double check the wiring on the ignitor.
