Looking for help with my no spark issue.

I have a 72 911E that hasn't run for some time. I have just installed an MSD6AL ignition and coil and am having some trouble. I also have installed new battery, cap and rotor, fuel filter, new fuel, new spark plugs, and new ignition wires, new oil filter and oil. I have also adjusted the valves. The engine turns over nicely, but will not start. I think I am getting fuel, because I can smell it. If I pull the center HT lead off the distributor (from the coil), and perform the MSD spark test, I am getting a nice spark to ground there. However, if I pull an ignition wire off a plug, put a spare plug in it, and hold the plug housing to ground, I get no spark when turning the engine over. I also cleaned the trans/eng to body ground strap. Do I have a bad distributor? There is a white wire from the MSD to the distributor body, and there is an original purple wire from the car to the distributor body. Should the purple wire be disconnected? So, I'm getting good power to the distributor from the coil, but nothing out of the distributor to the spark plugs.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
