Default Mk1 Cortina No power to Distributor

Hi I have a 1965 Gt Cortina Group N Race Car. Its been in storage but could not start it prior to that after having new extractors made and fitted.

I am going thru the car step by step but seem to have come to a problem.

As part of these steps I have a new battery, a new gear reduction starter motor.
Orginally had a Ballast Performance Coil and 1.6 omh resistor ,Ignition Delevopments modified Bosh Distributor (no vaccum) and NGK BE 9ES plugs.
I had not been able to get any spark from the Distributor.
I have since replaced the Coil and the Resistor and changed the points to Electronic but still have no power going to the distributor.
I have followed and double checked the wiring diagrams supplied to fit the Starter and Electronic Ign. module but with no success so far.
The only major change to the electrics was the swap of the main starter lead to the positive side of the solenoid and the activation wire to the starter to the other side of the solenoid. But the car may of had this problem after the exhaust fitment. Before that it started.
As the car cannot be moved at the moment any ideas or help would be appreciated.
