Default MSD coil = car won't start (searched)

So after searching I can predict that the answer will be go back to stock, the stock one is great. But, before I listen to the advice I know I'm already going to get, could someone confirm that it's not the fault of my installation? Wiring goes: black OEM wire to a new black wire to negative of coil, blue wire OEM wire to clear wire which shares a disconnect on the resistor with the red wire, which is spliced to the OEM yellow wire. The white wire goes from the other side of the resistor to the positive of the coil. Here are the pictures and a wiring diagram to help show where each wire is coming from:

your black/yellow is your 12 volt switched wire whick is coil positive through resistor. Your coild negative is a white wire inside the distributor that runs from the old coil down to the ignitor. The blue wire is your tach wire for the ecu.

could that white wire be this yellow one? So I just switch the black and yellow wires?
