Default jus swapped h22 into my Si, but car wont start...not sure what to check

We finally got around to throwing an H22 in the Si that has been dead for the past 3 years. I am using an h23 harness and the battery has been re-routed to the back of the vehicle, and the fuse box has been rerouted under the dash. The motor cranks, but I cant get any spark at all. I am using a converted internal to external dizzy and the h23 external wiring. I have fuel, compression, but I cant seem to get the thing to spark. The dizzy has been checked and is good, but there is no power going to it. All the wiring to the battery and fuse box have been checked and everything is good.
What other things should I be checking to make it spark? I am about to go crazy and Honda will not check it for me because "it is not a stock motor." PLEASE HELP!! thanks!

Well something simply to check would be grounds, make sure u got especially the thermostat hooked up nice and tight. Make sure ur coil and ignitor is good. Depending on how long the engine was sitting the ignitor or coil coulda taken a dump on u if it's been sitting for a long time.
