Hey guys definitely need your help on this one, I stayed up till 3 last night trying to get my car to run and i need it asap, I gotta work ! ...

situation

I attempted to swap cams yesterday, took everything out, got ready to drop the new cam in than i noticed a crack in the distributor side so i figured it'd be safer just to keep the same cam in, so i put everything back on ...

Turned key, nothing ...

So I think i did something wrong undo everything than re-install everything,

I turned key again nothing ...

I figured there's no spark, So i change the spark plug , Wires & dizzy rotor

I turn key again, nothing ...

So now Im at the point i'm at again, pretty much the rotor when the car is cranked ... So what could be the problem, timing ? One guy told me i may have had a snapped cam but the cam is still fine ... so please help me out guys ... I'm gonna attempt to re-do the timing again but I just wanted some more ideas on what it could be, thanks in advance - justin

Kinda confused... Does the car actually try to crank over? If so pull a plug out put it back into the plug wire and hold it close to the valve cover (to make it spark) while someone tries to start the car. If you have a spark then test all of the plugs. If they are all good i'm out of ideas. If no spark test the power wire running to your dizzy. There is a good chance it could be a bad ignition coil if power is running into the dizzy but not out of the dizzy to the plugs. Hope that helps.

are you getting fuel?

you need to take a multimeter and start back probing basics like. strater power ignition power, dizzy power and so on, if you have a flow chart it will go alot easier
