Default Help wiring a MSD 6AL box

I post it on the electrical forum but no help there I hope someone can help me here.
I have a little problem wiring a MSD 6AL box that I found at a local wrecking yard for $12. Its been bolted in my engine compartment for more than a year now and last weekend I tried to wire it but it didnt work, I try to follow the instructions that I found online (diagrams).I bench test it before and it work using the withe wire as a trigger. If anybody has wire one in their trucks might be you can help me and tell me what Im doing wrong. Here is the diagram Im using to wire it .

Thank you

there is not much that can be done wrong. those are known to go to bad though just may have got a dud. if you have voltage at red and white wire and at battery connection then there should be voltage at orange if not bad box

I know, but when I test it about 3 months ago it was working (I plug everything the way they said and try to trigger with withe wire and I saw spark coming from coil wire to ground) .Well I try again this weekend to see if I get any spark again.
