Does your starter turn the motor over? If it does and all your wiring is fine, when I swapped motors(to h22 not z6) I forgot to ground the head which fixed the problem for me.

so is your head grounded? Did you rotate the dizzy when cranking it over to adjust it?

hm...you can try spraying starter fluid(SMALL amount) on your air filter to see if that kick starts it

yes if it starts with starter fluid then its a fuel problem. but really it sounds like your dizzy is 180 out.

Why isn't it bolting up right? Sort that out first, then if that doesn't fix your problem, try something else.

I tho the dizzy could only go in 1way?
When some one did the timingbelt on my car(before I bought it) they left the cam 180 off so that made it run like crap once I got it to fire
