i just put in a new distributor because it poped it was my first time putting one in and it started but its have lag starting it

now it wont start i checked the battery and it has gas

for example i turn it on the first time right and i turn it off it wont start anymore

what do you guys think it is

 

is the starter cranking?.. 1st of all, check all your fuses and make sure that none of them are blown, if one is blown, exchange it for a new one, or a stronger one, if not that, and your starter is good, but still isn't cranking, check your ground, and check your spark, there can be many reasons why your car won't start, but check the fuses before you go out and buy anything

 

make sure the distributor is more or less centered (you can twist it forward & back to advance or retard ignition timing).....

my guess is main relay though. that's always my guess

classic

besides those two examples, and the rack end bushing, nothing else on our cars ever really goes bad.
