a few wiring problems

[Rhett]

heres whats going on I got a maruti ute that had a shagged body and a 82 shorty with a shagged datun motor in it and a 1300 in the shed. Ive taken the tub off the maruti cut the shorty back to take the fibreglass back and top off the maruti. pulled the maruti 1l out and bolted the 1300 in. Heres were my problem is Ive used the dash and harness out of the shorty in the cab but were it was hooked up to the datsun motor had been modded too much so I unplugged the harness just behind the fire wall. I then unplugged the maruti harness from behind the firewall. Ive gorn to plug it in but the plugs were different so I cut the plugs off and solderd the other plug on matching colours. I had a few left over both sides that had no maching colours. Ive wired the motor up and when I gave it a go to start it turned over but no spark. no power to both dizzy and coil no matter were the key was. Can I run my own wires from the ignition to the dizzy and coil or will i burn somthing?

Does any body know where the brown with a white stripe wire that goes to the coil and dizzy get there power from and should the neg side a coil have power?

[Rhett]

Ok no one wanted to help so I stripped the dash and wires from the maruti and put them over to the shorty. I now have power to coil power to dizzy but still no spark. What have I forgotten to do? Its hard to think whats wrong as the car is in the sun and its hot!!!
