I have just got to the stage of my mini build where I have tested the starter motor and the engine cranks. However, when I put the spark plug hook onto the engine, there is no spark visible. This image is the wiring diagram that I have used. The spark plugs are brand new and the starter is working fine so I'm guessing that my wiring isn't quite right or either the coil or distributor is broken. Any help is appreciated and I can test things with a multimeter if needed.

Is it ballast resistor?

[Charlie333]

It says 12 Volt Standard on, so i'm assuming it's not ballast. It also says 09-201 on it but can't see that anywhere on the web.

With ignition on both the +ve and -ve side of the coil are 12V, and therefore so is the lead going into the distributor, not sure if this helps
