You need to hook only the
black and orange on the coil
The msd will take care of the coil power itself

When you said no power to the coil do you mean no 12V ??
Did you crank the engine to check for spark usually those msd don't burn so easy ?
Can you post the installation picture the way you wired ??

Heavy red = Plus +
Heavy black = ground
Red = 12v ignition switched
Orange = plus + coil positive
Back = negative coil
The tach wire goes to the input of the msd
Check it the msd is set for 4 cylinder
The green and purple is for the magnetic pickup distributer !
Or The with wire to the negative of the distributer magnetic pickup
