Cranking but no spark

[pennyduke]

Tried to fire up my new 383 today in my 93 Bayliner but I don't have any spark. I replaced the coil with a new Mercruiser coil and still nothing. I don't have the outdrive attached but other than that the only thing added was an electric fuel pump and safety switch. I do have the kill switch on the dash pushed down. Any suggestions where to start?

It's been moved to the Merc section.

Check for 12V at the coil. If its not there check you kill switch position, also check that 12V is going to the + side and distributor goes to - side
