Jacobs FC1000 install problems.

I tried to install the FC1000 today since it was nice out. I get everything wired up and start the car and get no leading spark.

This is how I have it wired up:

Red 12volt switch wire to alternator black/white wire. S4 with FD alt.

Orange wire from ign box to white igniter wire
Purple wire from box to black igniter wire

White wire from box to positve term on coil
Black wire from box to negative term on coil

Fuses for the box are good both positive and negative. With the ignition switch on I get power to the switched black/white wire and with it started I get power to the igniter white wire but I don't get power from the box to the coil. The coil isn't getting a signal but the igniter to box signal is there.

I'm not using the green and brown wires.

Am I using the right wires and have it wired right?

I have the box disconnected and have the coil wired back like stock and it works fine.

Have you solved the problem, yet?

I just got mine in the mail yesterday (thank's JEGS), and was planning on hooking it up similar to this write-up: http://www.fc3s.org/how_tos/electrical/hi_6.html
