Default Need Help Fast: No Spark!!

Ok well i just finally got my engine ready to crank and it cranks fine with no binding or anything but i have no spark. No spark from the plugs or the distributer or the coil. here's a list of what i have done.
widefire head gasket kit
55# injectors
lindsey sport turbo
grinded crank
new bearings
racerX chips
manual boost controller
lindsey fuel rail
steel braided fuel lines
adjustable fuel pressure regulator
lindsey BOV
lindsey Stage II MAF
Power Perfect
sachs clutch kit
piston rings

could the crank position sensors be causing no spark if the 2 are switched around? like the one that is supposed to be in the back is in the front and so on? the also i put in a new rotor the old one was kinda messed up but worked fine. any ideas and things to check??? this build has taken almost a year and im so close now, i just wanna see it run..

The crank/ref sensors could cause this if they are switched, if they aren't gapped properly, or if they're malfunctioning.

There's a procedure on how to test them on clarks garage.
