Default 90 civic with LS swap...... no start

I jus swapped a LS in my ef and now its not starting. I am not getting any spark. I got a used obd1 distributor and converted it to obd0 by switching wires.
Orange.....orange
White.........white
Orange/blue.....orange/blue
White/blue......white/blue
Blue/green......blue/green
Blue/yellow......blue/yellow
Large white......yellow/green
Black/yellow......black/yellow
Blue......blue
I soldered and heat shrinked all connections. When cranking I get a code 4 for the crank sensor. First I thought that I had the 2 white wires wrong so I swtched them then it threw a code 8 for tdc position. I tripple checked everything to see if my wiring was right before and it was so I switched the white wires back. I'm thinking that its just a bad dizzy. Anyone had similar problems or input. Thanks
