okay heres what happened
put my motor back in and drove it around that night and the next day not a problem
then that evening when im driving it stalls when i push the clutch in then starts back up.
did it a few times then when i got to where i was going i parked then when i went to start it a few hours later, it starts then instantly dies, maybe 3 times
now it just wont start at all.
i have spark, i have fuel, its not the ecu or the dizzy i switched both. its not the main relay. and im pretty sure the motor didnt jump timing.
what the heck am i missing?

Check the grounds, fuel pressure, air filter, MAP sensor voltage and compression. One of those tests will surely provide more information. Are any cylinders firing at all- any popping or sputtering when you crank it?

grounds are good, and i definitely have compression, the motor has 2k on it. it does backfire at times because of the dizzy timing being a little off but i got it back in about th eright spot. it pops a little but not a whole lot, everything is in proper order it just wont start

what do your plugs look like? have u pulled them? just because you're getting fuel doesnt mean you're good. you could've ran rich and fouled your plugs. any CEL's?
