Ignition Problem

I just recently hooked up my new engine and I cannot get a spark from the plugs. I tested everything I could think of with a light tester and I am getting power to everything but still no spark to the plugs.The truck is an 85 with a 300.If anyone has a suggestion it would be appreciated.

Are you getting spark out of the coil. If so cap or rotor is bad. Is there power to the red wire on the coil. If not check connections. Is this a duraspark or a tfi? Need a little more info.

Sounds like pickup coil inside distributor is bad. If it is a new distributor take it back.
