#1: Ensure distributor cap isn't 180 degrees backwards. Anybody
remember if they are keyed?

#2: Did you rotate distributor (timing)? Even if it's WAY off, you
should be able to correct spinning engine w/ starter motor.

#3: Are you SURE you're getting spark? Verify with a timing light. You
need 10v into the coil to get High Tension (you can use the timing
light on your coil lead as well as individual plugs).

#4: Did you use up all the gas in the accumulator? Unless you've
modified, fuel pump isn't energized until engine is running. Try
jumping the fuel pump relay.

Keep us updated...
