{16v}No spark - what to look at?

[sfenton@amazon.com (Fenton, Shannon)]

Sound like the distro or the knock box. I have a brand new spare distro
if you need it.

So I'm here at Julie's and we're working on the 16v
conversion.  The car had been a MESS when she first got it,
and it's come a long way.  There is now a "new" wiring
harness installed from an '88 Scirocco 16v.  Here's the
(continuing) problem.

-Turn the key to "on" and get exactly one spark.  Fuel pump primes.
-Turn key to "start" - car cranks but no spark.

The question is, why?  I'm currently suspect of the
distributor as the hall sender plug is hanging off the
side.  (The spare is in the same shape.)  In typing this
I've realized we have access to at least one more, so I
might try that...

Otherwise, what else is telling the coil to fire when the
key is turned to 'start?'
