Default Hatch trouble

Hoping I can get some help with some problems I'm having with my hatch.
Setup:
93 dx civic shell
Ls/V
-B18a bottom end/GSR head
-skunk 2 IM

Problem Im having is car would start and run, however took the battery out one day to charge it and when I put it back in now car wont start. Battery is charged even tried jumping it. No luck. Motor turns over but I dont think there is a spark. I think the dizzy is working considering the car was working before, however is there a way to check? Could it possibly be a ground?

pull a plug wire and put a plug in it....and put it near a grounding point in your engine and have your friend crank your car....you should see spark, if not time for a new dizzy

checked fuses? all kinds of things can potentially go wrong with battery replacement

-check fuses
-check for spark
-check for fuel
-test ecu in other car to rule out
-test dizzy in other car to rule out

hopefully by then you've got it cause those are most common things
if not come back and search here and google
