Default 88 GT no spark, not gettin power to the coil

88 GT not getting power to the coil, i replaced the TFI and the Coil before i realized this, but car is just cranking and wont run the 2 wires going to the coil are getting no juice, If i run a hot wire to the redw/a green stripe wire it will fire right up. Anyone got a friggin clue what the hells going on!? this pos has an aftermarket alarm from the previous owner that never worked right apparently, what he told me when i bought it. Can't seem to figure it out, thanks

Default

if the alarm is tapped into the ignition feed that may be the prob as it'll disable the 12v switched ignition source from the coil that is supplied via ignition switch, first thing I'd do is get under the dash and remove the cluster f /you know what of wires the alarm is spliced into and reconnect all the wires that were spliced back into the proper wires
