Default no sprark

ive been having problems with my b18a1 swap... i have fuel now but still no spark... all my grounds check out to be ok same with all my fuses.......... it seems like either no power to the dizzy or ecu.. i have a aftermarket tach when i crank it it stays on 0 so that leads me to think that theres no power ......or ign output. so i dont know any help would be great

What kinda car did you do the swap in?

Did you have to repin the distributor wires at all?

sometimes people mix up the 2 white wires, that look identicle, you could try swapping them around.

Do you have another distributor you can test on the car? It wont let you rev?
