Default No Spark MSD ignition?

Folks,

I have a full Brand New - MSD ignition.

I pulled the valve covers to adjust the valves and when I finished and tried to start... Nothing?

No Spark?

I un hooked the Coil to get the cover off, and remove the dist & wires to adjust valves... But other than that... nothing I can think of that would cause no spark...

Do you think it is just a wire loose?

Does the MSD 6AL box have any reset issues?

Any feedback before I start digging would be appreciated!

BAd box, improper installation come to mind.

If there's no spark, start at the distributer. Check the hot wire going into the cap and make sure it's clipped in tight. If thats o.k. then go to the ignition module inside the distributer. It sounds like something simple.
