Engine Trouble,won't start

I got a 460 EFI that turns over great! Plenty of fuel ! But no fire at the plugs. Not sure what it is. Maybe its electric and someone might have a idea what. Here is what I have found out.
The coil has:
2- "Hot" tan/yellow wires
1- "Hot" Red/Green wires
1- "Hot" Red/Green condenser wire
The plug just
before the
distributor has:
1- "Hot" Red/Green wire
1- "Hot" Black/White wire
1- "Dead" Black wire
1- "Dead" Gray/Orange wire
1- "Dead" Orange wire
The Distributor has
7 wires going in it:
1- "Hot" Red wire
1- "Dead" Black wire
1- "Dead" Black/White wire
1- "Dead" Green wire
1- "Dead" Black/Yellow Wire

The dead wires might be ground. Or could supose to be hot.
I just figured someone might know. If one is suspose to be hot and its not. Where is the hot coming from. Or do you know anything that I might try.Any help would be greatful. THANKS !!

What year truck is this? Maybe that will help you get a more informed response. Just an idea.
