1985 V8 TPI z28 Wont Start All of a Sudden

I've searched these boards and havent come acoss an answer to this problem so I hope it's a simple fix.
I have a 1985 Camaro V8 with TPI Z28. The person I bought it from installed a stupid light switch to the radiator fan to turn it on and off because it went out and that was his quick fix. The car ran great, started with no problem, etc. etc. I pulled it into my shop one day and put in new carpet, and took out the light switch and the wires he used which only went to the fan it self, the battery and a ground. I figured I'd find a schamatic and wire it correctly. I went to start it the other day and now it wont start for nothing. Im getting fuel, (I can smell it) plugs are getting spark and everything else seems to be working ok the car just won't start. It turns over and over but just wont start. I figure I did something stupid but can't seem to get passed this. I didnt unhook any wires or anything so Im at a loss. Any help would be appreciated. I can post pictures of this mess if it would help...

Thanks
