chances are you didn't put the plugs in the right firing order.

You sure you're getting spark. If you tested for spark by letting the plug wires sit on the valve cover while turning it over you probably fried the ignitor in the dizzy. I should know, I've done the same during a compression test. First off, disconnect your fuel line and run it into a bucket, then turn the key to the on position to actuate the fuel pump. If you're getting gas, it has to be the dizzy.

You've checked all fuses and relays. You didn't dick with the timing belt. Your injectors are all clipped properly, you didn't remove the fuel line. You reinstalled the dizzy properly. WTF could it be?
