Default No Spark Help!!!

I'm not getting any spark for some reason after sticking my new bottom end in..

I've run a wire from battery to positive from the group a coil
Got a new dizzy cap
New distributor
Everything is wired up as it should be
Firing order is correct
New spark plugs
Fuelling is fine

Read up on previous threads and just had no luck with any of it..

Engine is cranking as it should be but just not getting any spark!!!

Really need to get this sorted ASAP otherwise I'm missing ford fair.. again

Anyone got any ideas because after building the whole engine back up it still doesnt want to start
