Check the ground on the Thermostat, and on the tranny. Both will keep it from starting.

thanks for your comments the only thing i can tell u is that when i just installed my b20 it did the same thing it cranked over but nothing what i did was i changed my 450 injectors back to stock since i dont have a fuel pressure regulator and the bitch started right up thats what i can tell u but also check the grounds

Here's the holy trinity of diagnosis: Fuel, Fire, Compression?

are the ignition wires on in the correct order and is your cam timing ok?

if those are good, do a compression check.

try removing the dizzy, rotating the rotor 180 degrees, and bolting it back on.
