Default Cosworth spark probelm

I have just re-built a engine for my old mans cossie and we have fitted a wasted kit we have put every thing in now and we have just come to start in up but we have come across a problem which is it will not fire up when we turn the ignition on so all the lights come on the clocks we get a constant spark but when we crank the engine over the loose the spark and get nothing at all.

has any one come across this problem before and can any one shed any light on this please

Thanks for any help with this
