Check and make sure that you connected the plug wires correctly, this is most certainly your problem.

I made sure that the wires were on tight on both sides.Would the distributor cap have anything to do with it?Is there a certain direction that it has to point.When I replaced the thing inside the cap it was pointing to 4,2 posts on the cap.I tried to move it but I couldnt.Im pretty sure that its in the right firing order.

Just to make sure, are your wires routed right? Other than that, what about the ign. module? Is it still good? Are you getting fuel?

Just a few things to start with.

Everybody thanks for the help.The insert for the firing order really helped a lot.I had one of the wires in the wrong place.Runs like a dream now.
