Default not getting a strong spark from the distributer

i finally got my ZC in my CRX, and running. but i am not getting a good solid blue spark. i have 12 volts going into the ditributer but it is trowing a weak orange spark. i have new honda wires so its not the wires. does anyone have an idea why i am not getting a good spark?
