Did you cut the two wire loops to configure it for 4 cylinder operation?
It should work fine with a hall distributor, EZK117 box, and the igniter (aka ignition module, or amplifier). You're connecting it to the original coil wires. The trigger signal (red/white) comes from the igniter, not the distributor hall wire.
The test procedure, i.e. disconnect the white wire and tap it to ground, should cause it to spark as the wire is removed from ground.
Get it running without the dummy coil first, then see if the tach works without the dummy coil (I'm not sure what happens if you connect both the MSD and a dummy coil across the same wires).
I did cut the wires. Performed the spark test you outlined as I found it on MSD's website and no spark occurred. red light on the box flashed like it was getting the signal but no spark.
