Converted mine to yb turbo. Do u mean yb turbo Cossie or 24v Cossie? It could be loads of different things causing it not to spark, first off I'd make sure it's wired tidy and getting 12v to the coil, then fuel injector and pump relays have fuses that kill the spark also.

Sounds like you've wired it up right then it's only them 5 wires u need. Check that the Amal valve boost control solenoid is clicking on second turn of key, if so then u have power to pump and ignition so points to crank sensor, phase sensor or ecu,or possibly distributor timed up wrong. If the Amal valve doesn't click then it's either the 2 relays or 2 fuses normally at fault.
