Ok i got everything hooked up now. I turn over the engine and i have fuel and compression but no spark. Also the gauge cluster's lights don't come on either except the seatbelt light.

This is what i have if it helps, 94 B18 engine, OBD-1 Conversion harness, using the civic DX harness.

Help me please!!

double check all of your grounds, there should be on from the battery to the frame, one from the wiring harness to the thermostat housing, and one from the valve cover or I use the block to the frame.

OK the gauge cluster works now, I just swaped it with another one turns out the old one was bad. Anyway I STILL DONT HAVE SPARK!! Can any one help me with this? I checked my grounds, wires, stuff like that but there is no coil to check so im out of ideas.

The coil is an internal part of the dizzy. You can test it. There is an ignitor on the bottom of the dizzy that goes bad sometimes.
