No Spark???

OK, wiring harnes is installed and connected (we think) there is voltage to the starter, it is turning over. There is voltage in the wires going to the new coil (we checked it) But, no spark to the distributor. It seems to be a bad ground but we can't seem to trace wherer it would be.
When we got the car it had burned wiring in the harness and the DPO had completely bypassed the starter and direct wired a push button start, so the pictures we took about how it was connected. We did install electonic ignition and bypassed the plug that is supposed to plug into the distributor. Any ideas about what we should be checking?
I am thinking about just investing in a new wiring harnes and starting over from scratch....could a ground wire be bad in the harness? We installed new electonic and ignition switch, ignition, rebuilt starter, new coil.
I just am not getting any spark.

OK...first dumb question...is the engine well grounded with the strap and where do you loose current? Grounding is something easily fixed once you find the end of the flow.

We are losing the current at the coil. That's why we bought a new one, we figured the other one was shot. (Can you test a coil?)
Two green and white wires attached on the positive pole. With an ohm meter on the positive terminal and grounded....we have voltage.

Black and white and white on the negative pole. Again, with an ohm meter and touching grounding to the body....voltage.

TOuch the positive terminal and the negative terminal....nothing. No spark coming out of the coil..but power going in. Doesn't this sound like a grounding issue?
