Default MSD ignition: troubleshooting CODE question

today i embarked on getting my motor back up and running. so ill cut to the chase. i cannot get spark from my MSD ignition box. power is fine, ground is fine (tested with an ohm meter). new MSD distributor cap appears all hooked up correctly. i followed MSDs instructions down to a T. it seems as though the igntion isnt getting signal to spark. i even "T'd" off my ignition control module wire to make sure it gets signal.
i should note i have a custom harness where i seperated the cabin harness from the engine harness. the only thing thats there is the wires from the engine to the ECU.
also along my route i have discovered that i cannot find what code 15 and code 16 are. they arent listed in my helms manual but apparently the ECU is throwing those codes. right now i have 4 codes, 15, 16, 20, 41. 15, 16 are unknown and 20 is the ELD which is non existant anymore. 41 is the O2 sensor which i havent hooked up yet since the car isnt running. help me out.

seems as though im not getting the injectors to fire. they are plugged in, i have a good connection from the ECU to the injector. what actually fires these things? that seems to be the link im missing now.
