trouble starting car

I can not start my car! Here is what I did:

I did not touch the block or heads. I replaced the intake,carb dist, plugs and wires. I put the #1 cylinder at tdc on compression stroke and put in dist withe rotor pointing to #1 cylinder. hooked everything back up.

I have fuel going in to the carb and I have spark at the spark plug.

What am I missing? The car will not start. I will crank the engine and the give it some gas. When I give it the gas I get a pop out of the carb.

any help will be greatly appreciated

Re: trouble starting car

Your timing could be off. Could have the dizzy 180 degrees off.
