Electron ignition

Hi all again I have trued to replace my distributor ignition with the electronic as I think the one I have on there is faulty I bought the acuspark system with the trigger ring etc put it all together and absolutely nothing .the acuspark is red in colour and mine is smaller and blue ? I watched a video on how to install it looked pretty easy but I have a small white wire which screws onto the plate as well which on their the video doesn't have . My distributor looks like it's been butchered the even hack sawed a slot to get the wires through instead of taking it through its proper hole ? My engine has black smoke and is misfiring hence I think it's the distributor as I have a new electronic fuel pump and carb and now a sports coul upgrade so there is nothing left to be honest I have bought an entire distributor with the electronics already installed ( again acuspark) as I am at a loss of what to do thanks all
