    Could be tons of things wrong. First you have to figure out what your missing Spark Fuel, Compression or air.

    If its spark it could be:

    Wires in wrong in order

    miss aligned cap or rotor

    check for power at coil with key on

    If you removed distributor make sure its installed in the right position

    Fuel

    make sure there is fuel pressure at the rail

    Injectors are firing or TBI is firing

    There are some things for you to check.
