Pull a plug to see if they are fouled. Do you smell fuel when you crank it? How is the fuel pressure? Recheck all grounds and connectors.

plugs are not fouled only turn over 5 or 6 times. checked the plugs there good. don't smell it but can see the fuel. not sure on the pressure but it spraying alot of fuel and a good spray pattern. I remember connecting 3 wires on the back of the passenger side head one on the front passenger head i think those are the only ones that took of the engine. if anyone has anything else let me know.

Check your timing. I could of swore my timing was correct on #1. But it wouldnt fire, it wasnt 180 degree's out either. I was finally like okay screw this, and loosened it up, started moving the cap around a little bit, and it fired.
