Pull a plug.
Verify you ARE getting spark.
Check all ground wires.....
Last resort; reinstall old distributor.

Subject: Help! won't start after cam installation
Just completed installing my autotech cams and new distributor, but =
the damn thing won't start.
Followed the directions to the letter, cam timing was on, engine =
timing was on...made sure everything was re-connected (plug wires in =
1342 order CCW), but all it does it turn over. Rotating the distributor =
has no effect.
There was one tiny pop during the first crank, but then nothing...
It really seems that there's no spark at all or it's not being =
distributed right. I don't know what to make of it. I'm 99% positive I =
assembled everything properly. It was running fine before I started =
this, so i'm reluctant to think it's the coil....
I may try the old distributor for the hell of it...
Any ideas? Thanks in advance! Jeff
