Default Car won't start 1987 Accord DX

Ok I just finished replacing the head gasket on a 1987 Accord DX Carb. motor and now that i have it all back together it doesn't want to start up but it does turn over. I had to remove the distibutor when taking off the head and I think that is my problem but dont know how to go about adjusting it. Does anyone have any input as to what the hell is wrong with it? I also have tryed jumping it for more power and still nothing.

well you can't have the dist 180 out cause it has a offset tab on it.
I'd try swining the dist one way or the other and recheck the timing of the cam/crank.
