this issue is prob. unrelated to your dizzy, do your dash lights come on, was the car cranking slow or normal? check the conn. at the batt., starter, and so on.

Did you check the firing order, check if all your injectors and all your harnesses for the distributor are hooked up. Also make sure that you have the distributor timed right.

maybe ur starter went out...*shrugs* you could go find a friend with one of those hand starters(connects one cable to the starter and one to the battery) just so you dont waste money buying new **** you dont need..
