Default No starts after head install

Not sure if anyone remembers but my 'lude took a dive a while back with a broken timing belt. Pulled the head last week, 14 bent valves FTL. Anyway, had it rebuilt, reinstalled, new belts etc. and no starts.

Relevant info...

Did a compression test with a weak battery and got 50psi across the board? Car ran great before but has been down for about...3 months now. I'm assuming the numbers are artificially low from either user error (although comp. tests are pretty ****** easy) or something else.

Car turns over just fine, no funny noises, just no start. Timing marks are correctly aligned on crank/cam.

New spark plugs (lost the old ones)

Sooo, any of you guys that have been here before, seen this prob, etc, pointers or tests for me to diagnose the problem would be greatly appreciated.

*this problem solved thx

Default Re: No starts after head install (Saiyansniper)

that looks like the connector that goes to the vacuum box that was more than likely removed after you took the stock intake out.
