After rebulilding the 250 in my 69 c10, I finally went to start it for the first time. When I turned the key the motor was turning and then it looked like a big spark came from the coil. Now the engine will turn, but will not fire.

1) Is it a bad coil?
2) Could I have installed the dizzy wrong, causing the coil to throw a spark!
3) Did I wire something incorrectly?

I was really excited to get the beast running after a year of sitting in the garage, but I am now in bummerland and the wife is not happy. (she wants her parking space back.)
