No Spark from my Duraspark

I tried to fire my motor up today after doing the Duraspark swap and am not getting any spark.

From my box I have the following wires coming out

Red
White

Orange
Purple
Green
Black with Green stripe



Red->Spliced into Original Red/Green wire running to + side of the coil. Pink wire is still in place.
White-> 's' post on relay


Green->Neg Post on coil
Purple-> Purple and Black striped wire to dist.
Orange->Pink and Black striped wire to dist.
Black with Green->Black on the distributor

Are these the correct color wires to have coming out of the distributor?The only reason I am 2nd guessing myself is the wires that are coming out of my distributor (pic below). The diagram I am using states Orange, Black, and Purple should be coming out of the distributor.

When cranking I have 10 volts coming to the red wire on the box.

Should there be any voltage coming out of the Orange,Green,Purple or Green wires from the Duraspark box? I did not have any.



This is a box from the junkyard as well, which may very well be the issue.


Any ideas?


Thanks.

The insulator is blue.

I had the white hooked up to the 'S' as I was following the mustang Steve diagram.

I picked up another box from the parts store this evening and will try that one tomorrow. Does the box need a full 12V? I am thinking about running a wire directly to the back of the ignition post and by passing the resistor wire completely, but leave the resistor hooked up for the coil wire so it does not fry it.
