Default Swap is done.. car wont start!

I finally finished my swap.. but the motor wont start.. it turns over fine, but it just doesnt fire up. Heres the diagnosos: Checked for spark in the #1 plug wire.. NO SPARK.. checked to make sure fuel is getting to the fuel rail.. sure enough. It seems to be that there is no spark to ignite to motor.. ANY SUGGESTION?? i need the car for a date.. thank you in advance..

Try a different plug wire to see if you get a spark that way. If so, ya got a bad wire. If not try a plug as well.

yea you could check the grounds, when i first did my zc swap i had a bad ground and went through 4 ignitors , but the car started then died when it got hot, i would swap out the ignitor and coil if you got extras, if not borrow one of your friends distributors quicker if not easier than testing the coil and ignitor.
