What distributor is it? They make one that is self contained and one that requires an external box. The self contained one is a three wire hookup. Power, ground and (-) side of coil. The other one will plug into the two pin harness. In either case if you are sure it's wired correctly then I would say it's defective.
Its an accel...and it is basically a direct replacement..its plug/play..2 wire..maybe i can take the pick-up out of my old one and replace it??

Personally, I'd return it before I tried to fix the new one. Not your yob.

If you bought it from a private party, you are probably out of luck, but if you bought it from a store, I believe implied warranty laws require them to replace it if it is defective out of the box. You may not get your money back, but you should get a replacement part.

Check the reluctor gap using a brass feeler gauge. Should be .006~.010". If the gap is right the magnetic pickup is bad.
BTW: What ignition box do you have? Stock Mopar? MSD?
