5.0 TPI will not start

I was performing a Tune Up on my 1986 IROC-Z with a 5.0 TPI engine. I replaced Spark Plug, Cables, Rotor and Distributor Cap. Now the motor will turn but will not start.

I verified if the distributer was producing a spark (using an old Spark Plug and creating a spark) and yes it is producing a spark. I am realy confused the attached photo shows how I wires the spark plug cables.

Can someone tell me if I wired the motor correctly. Also how can I test if there is fuel pressure.

Won't Start in South Florida!

Re: 5.0 TPI will not start

Firing order is correct.
Your number 1 plug wire should be right around the 5:30 to 6:00 o'clock area. Also you need to make sure you're on the compression stroke and not the exhaust stroke. Pulling #1 plug, sticking your finger over the hole, and turning the crank should produce an outflow of air (pressure) when you're on the compression stroke. You may be 180 out (firing the plug on the exhaust stroke).
Fuel pressure gauge on the schrader valve should tell you if you have fuel pressure. You also could turn the key and press the rod in the schrader (on the pass rear side fuel rail) to see if gas comes flying out. Not cool but it works.

Not responsible for gas in your eye or anywhere else, fires, explosions, yadda yadda yadda...
