was the rotor arm replaced with the dissy cap?
sometimes they don't match up properly and you won't get a spark or only get a weak spark?

If you don't know what you are doing its very hard to even talk someone through the setup, probably best have a professional look at it.

check the engine bay earth really easy way of doing this is to use a jump lead between the engine and the body
