Default New Distributor. Slow Spark.

I had a Camshaft Position sensor go bad. So with almost 190K on the Jeep I decided to replace the whole distributor. Well I got everything in, set it to top dead center and everything. Put new wires in too, they are all in the right order and on tight. It will crank but not start. I checked the spark and it sparks but it is a really slow spark. Any ideas?

Maybe it's my poor English, but what's a slow spark?
