I would double check the wiring per the Gen 7 manual. Make sure that the Mallory hyfire is getting power from a constant source, meaning its getting power while cranking.

I am not really familiar with that setup, but maybe something is not right with the dual synch dizzy?

I had the same problem as you when I first tried to start my car. I have the Gen 7 too but I am using the optispark, not a dual sync. I know this is going to sound like "Mr. Obvoius" but check all electrical plugs and connections. the reason mine would crank and not fire is because while running the wiring for the DFI we had placed the opti wire in place but "never made the connection" (If you know Bob and Tom you'll get the quotes). Once we checked everything and found this I simply pushed the fittings together and she fired right up.
