Default No Spark, could use some help

Here is the situation...

I just bought a 92 CX Hatch with a B16 swap for a decent price seeing that it doesn't run

Compression is good, it appears that the grounds are good, and it is getting plenty of fuel

Pulled out a plug to see if I was getting spark = no luck, but when I held the spark plug to one of the other spark plug wires it sparked slightly

I'm not the best with electrical but if someone could maybe point me in the right direction I would appreciate it

Could also use a CX and B16 (OBD 1) wiring diagram to start going through that

Also would it be a good idea to get an SI wiring harness = less splicing issues

first check all your fuses under the hood, even the big boxy ones that are held in by screws. if those are still good, check your distributor by taking it apart and inspect the rotor and all other metal components. make sure those are clean and you can even sand them a little if they look dirty. if that is not your problem, then i would start checking wires for a bad ground. wire diagrams are all over google.

I would say main relay... when you urn he key on you should hear he fuel pump turn on and click. good

Alt. soilnoid valve fuse under dash. 30amp check

dizzy...

If unsure of a part use a known good part to double check. So your not burning money for un-needed parts
