It sounds like the wires are at least going the right way. Make sure they are firmly installed into the distributer cap and "snapped" onto the spark plugs. You should feel the ignition wires "pop" onto the plug when installed all the way on. I think your problem is the distributer. Either you don't have the rotor in correctly or the cap is not snapped on right. Remove the cap and MAKE SURE THE BUMP INSIDE THE ROTOR IS ALIGNED WITH THE NOTCH IN THE DISTRIBUTER SHAFT. When reinstalling the cap make sure it too is lined up with the bump on the cap and the notch in the casting and that the cap is COMPLETLY seated on the distributer. If these parts were not assembled correctly and you tried to start the motor you could have damaged them so when they are apart inspect for broken pieces or cracks. Another thing you could try is to pull a spark plug, stick it in a wire, lay it on the engine and when cranking it should have a nice, fat, blue spark. This will at least prove out the wires and coil. It will not tell you if the rotor is incorrectly positioned inside the distributer.
