Talking engine will not spart (no spark)

Hi

I have a 1987 rx7 turbo. And its a great car and i just did an engine swap and it ran great for about 20 miles(brand new engine) and it died so i spnt like 4 hours woking on it and i found out that theres not spark so i went and got new spark plug wires and new spark plugs but i still cant get a spark. and i dont t think its the coils dose anyone know how the coils are spost to be hooked up or dose anyone have any idas why it wont spark thanks.

check your ignitor coils, you should also invest in a jacobs electronics igniton box and easiest of all check your fuses. check to make sure the leading plugs are hooked to the leading coil, and the traling to the trailing.

cool I am geting spark afterall thanks i just tested the wrong spark plug. I tested the ones that are the secondary. BUT i may have spark but my car still will not start. Ok whell i have spark compression so it has to be the furlpump and i dont hear it when the car starts is there a fuse for it somewhere? so something i would get to it if i could but the fuel lines look like there all compressed and if i unhook one i will have gass everywhere i think it may just be cloged somewhere.
