You need to make sure you have power to the box. If you do you need to get another box that is a known good unit and see if you hten get sparks.

Check the ignition switch, do your gauges light up and fuel pump come on?

all gauges light up, ignition switch is tight, red box light  lights up when motor is cranked over,

going to try and swap out red coils and recheck wiring.

motor was out for rebuild at 600 - never had issue before when motor was pulled from car
