Poor spark after swap.

I just did a SOHC ZC swap in a 92 civic. The engine ran for a few minutes then cut out. I checked the spark and it's very weak. What could cause this and what can I do to corrrect it. I'm going to take the coil out and get it tested too.

Did you replace the Dizzy cap, rotor, and spark plug wires when you did the swap?

Well, grounds, but if you do conversion harness and swaps, you already know that.

I was working with a guy, and he didn't have any grounds, he was going to install them afterwards... Well the motor sucked all the strray electrons out of the the engine block, and then wouldn't run anymore... Remember, motor mounts are RUBBER, hahah.
