No spark at all? Look at the power source, and the dizzy plugs, check for bad wires. It should have no troubles working imho.

seems silly but you have prob forgot to put a ground wire somewhere, it can cause all stupid things with ignition

all Ive really done is move the coil off a bracket something was on
on the left hand side near where the overflow bottle was
and mounted it on the strut tower so I could sit the afm lower maybe thats it
Could the coil not be grounded properly ?

Spark plugs.

Just test spark by plugging a spark lead into a sparkplug and rest the plug on the head/intake pipework.

spark control is (in a nutshell):
sensors in dizzi provide timing signal(s) to ECU - ECU/loom passes on raw timing signals to the ignitor - ECU also generates a spark advance signal based on engine load/temp/speed/etc - ignitor uses both (plus does some dwell control) to work out when to fire the coil.

so, tracing back from that, it could be:
coil
igniter
wiring from ECU to ignitor
wiring from dizzi to ECU
sensors in dizzi

i'd suggest gettin a check-engien light working and seeing if the ECU is sending any error codes to you.

Also - i'd be getting a wiring diagram for the engine and double checking everything.
