Default Big Turbo Cosworth Escort weak spark

Car has 4000km. Cannot get enough of a spark to start. The ground is good. Changed coils twice. Changed ignition module. Changed crank sensor. Distributor and leads are new. Volts at coil are good. Timing checked. Anyone have any ideas??

I guess you have changed the plugs? Maybe try a group A coil and check fueling as gr cossie says.
Try some "start ya bastard" easy start spray.
