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

	| 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.

	| Apparently the igniter/coil cets its ground from the igniter casing I dont think I bolted it down well enough when I moved it
