Carb'd 4AGE on Hyperpak ignition no spark problem

[4AGE FORD]

Hi guys i have a bigport 4AGE engine from a AW11 MR2 on carbs with a Hyperpak ignition control unit to run the stock distributor.

I am unable to get the engine to start due to no spark, well i say no spark i actually get one weak spark at the very first crank of the engine and then nothing at all when i continue to crank the engine. I dont always get the spark at the first crank of the engine either, its a bit intermittent.

I have double checked the wiring against the diagram that came with the kit and the ignition coil is brand new. I'm at a loss with what is wrong with it, my only thoughts are that the distributor is causing my problems or the hyperpak unit itself.

Are the distributors known to give ignition faults or are they fairly reliable?

Any help with this would be most appreciated.
