Delco distributor, prestolite coil

I bought a sailboat with an atomic 4.
Not starting, previous owner said that it had ignition issues.
I have found out that he rewired the coil in the wrong way!
I guess he just bought new distributor cap, points, condenser and plugs, he couldn't figure it out and put it back together quickly.
The distributor is a Delco, while the coil a prestolite.
It should not matter, right?
Both primary and secondary test good so hopefully isn't fried.
I have no spark but I have 12v at coil positive. But Always, so I'm gonna check the instruments and switch panel and go from there.

Please let me know if for some reason a Delco distributor must have a different coil than the prestolite that I own.

Thanks!
