Try this take one of the wires off and put a Phillips head screw driver in the wire one that fits good, make sure its long enough screw driver. Take the screw driver and mount it near a metal part on the engine and there will need to be a gap from the screw driver to the metal part. Have someone crank the car and see if you have any spark.If you have spark the possible your gap on your plugs are wrong.if no spark check the rotor you installed it may not be touching the the points inside the cap...
