The "ignition" is a system. What exactly did you replace? Ignition switch? Distributor? Please use some punctuation when you reply, otherwise that huge sentence can be read multiple ways.

"back up I tried jumping it but nothing"

"Nothing" doesn't tell us anything. Do you mean the engine cranks but doesn't start? It doesn't crank as though the battery was removed?

If you have no headlights, that has nothing to do with the ignition switch or distributor, so the battery cable connections and the fuse link wires connected at the starter are the things to start with. Do you have a test light or voltmeter?
