So I've changed all the dirstributor parts out and all the electronics for the duraspark are brand new and I'm getting no spark. I have power running to the coil and nothing coming from the coil. I've tried wiring it to bypass all my old electrical in case there was a short to no avail. I tried for hours yesterday to figure this out and finally had to quit when it got dark outside I'm just stuck. Also is it normal for the green wire coming from the coil to put out power I thought it was just a ground but it has power when the ignition is on.

Ok so I'm an idiot sorry about this when I pulled the distributor out I marked my wires according to color but somehow managed to mix two of them up. So I took a break today and cleaned up my car port and organized my tools and decided to check to make sure I wasn't an idiot so of course I realized I crossed the wires and now I have spark I just have to get it timed right and hopefully get it started.
