Default wasted spark issue

Just fitted wasted spark conversion and will not start. msd did the ecu so all i had to do is fit it in and connect 21 and 26 pins to plug. Car cranks for about 5 secounds then massive bang there are no numbers on the coil pack for the leads does this matter

Thanks for your help there Sonic, I am going to have to ask the girls to unpack every one of these damn things as more and more seem to be turning up without the connection label on.
