If the plug wire firing order is correct, check the mechanical timing.

Any CEL codes? Did you swap any sensor connectors?

Does anyone know if y8 spark plug wires will work with a z6 dizzy. i know when you read most of the swap forums for this they tell you to use z6 wires with z6 dizzy. but since the y8 wires are for a vtec head does it matter.

Problem sovled. Turns out we have to use the original dizzy and notch it. the ecu cant recognize the z6 dizzy because tooth count is different. you could replace the ecu to match the dizzy, but since we dont have that ecu we are going to notch the dizzy instead.
