.009 Dist Question

Hello Pelican Nation!

I come to you again looking for advice on my '72. I have recently installed a rebuilt 1.8l engine in the car and while at it, made the swap to a dual Weber carb set. Upon completion I installed the stock distributor and the engine ran well although I had read that it would run even better with a .009 distributor installed for the advanced spark curve that it gives. So, I purchased a Hot Spark distributor with electronic ignition to save myself a bit of hassle adjusting points. Upon installing the new distributor I now can't get any spark out if it. I've pulled a plug, grounded it and there is no spark anywhere in the rotation so now its onto trouble shooting. I've read that I may need a different voltage regulator but I'm not sure of what to get or if there is something else that I should check first. Have any of you run into this or have any suggestions? Thanks for the help.
