electronic egnition problems

I was replacing my old points system with a petronix electric ignition as well as replacing the coil with a Accel super coil. Got it all put together following the directions. It cranks but doesn't fire. So i tried using the old coil with the new ignition. No go. Put all the old points back in, crank but no spark. Tried both coils, same thing. Took a Testing light to everything. Balast resister is good, i have juice to the coil, and juice into the distributer. Ground seems to be good. Can anyone think of something i missed. I'm sure it probebly something really basic that i am going to kick my self for when its running. But any imput would be appreciated.
