I dont know what happened.
basics: 98 prelude base converted to obd1 chipped p28 chrome tune
yesterday i replaced my old distributor with a new one and since i did it my tach was goin nuts so i figured it was just a loose wire so i pulled off the dizzy cap+rotor and the guard and sure enough the tach wire was barely hanging on (it was brand new i didnt think it would have any loose wires so i didnt check) so i just pulled it off tightened the crimp and slipped it right back on. replaced the guard rotor and cap went to start my car and it turns over but it seems like it does not have spark now? i dunno what happened i check all the wires and fuses all the good stuff still no spark. I dont know what happened, any suggestions?

Re: I dont know what happened.
still cant figure it out:
we tested for spark its got plenty, checked the timing its good, replaced the plugs, the fuel is around 45 psi, replaced the igniter with a brand new one(on a brand new distributor), its got compression across the cylinders..
anyone know possibly what could be wrong??
The distributor i bought was from distributor king on ebay.. i got one before on my old civic and it was fine. but maybe this one is somehow messed up.
