Won't start

I have a 1983 305 Camaro. I put a new rotor /distrubtor cap/ ignition coil/spark plugs and spark plug wires and now the car won't start. Any info on why and how to fix would be appreciated.

Prior to ^^^^this work, did the car start/run?

In that case, backtrack what you've done until you find your problem. Just a guess, but the first thing I'd do is replace the new coil with the the original and see if the new one is at fault.
