The orange wire comming from the module should matchup to another orange wire in the connector that goes to the stator in the distributor.

I don't think the duraspark module has to be bolted down to run. I think it's grounded via the black wire that comes out of the module to the dist and is grounded inside the dist.

You should have 2 connectors comming out of the module, 1 with 2 wires (red and white) and 1 with 4 wires (green, orange, black, and purple) On the connector with 2 wires, red = ignition switch "run" position. White = ignition switch "start" position. On the connector with 4 wires, green = coil negative side, orange and purple = stator inside dist, black =ground inside dist. With out being there, it's hard to say what the problem could be. I have seen new parts be bad also. Just take your time and retrace all your steps. It may be something very simple and just overlooked.
