No spark. Help!

I have an 85 fb with a 12a engine. There is no spark when i try to start it. I got it new plugs, points, distributer cap and rotor, coils, and battery. Still nothing. Not sure where to go from here, any suggestions?
Thanks

what points are you referring to? unless you downgraded to the pre-1981 distributors, you shouldn't have points. also you changed everything except the wires. it's improbable that they would ALL go bad at once, but since everything else it new, why not? i would imagine the old faithful NGK wires are still affordable.

have you checked the igniters?

have you checked the wiring to the coils from the ignition? are the coils getting juice?

Yes coils are getting juice. I ordered two igniters so hopefully that is the problem.
