Car only cranks - HELP!

My intake gasket was shot, so I replaced it. Made note of where the distributor was, put it back in after the install in the same spot. I had the carb off and checked it out since the throttle was sticking. Fixed that issue, put it back on. Now, the car won't start. At first, the car started right up, but ran at a really high idle and started to stumble on itself when revved a bit. I figured I was off a tooth, so I adjusted. That made it worse, etc etc.

I reset to TDC, got the distributor and cap back on properly, all the wires in the proper location. But all the car does is crank. I have removed the fuel line from the carb and cranked to check for gas and there is gas being pumped in. What am I missing here?

(posted this in the carb section as well, delete if necessary, sorry about that)
