You probably messed up your firing order. Looking down at the distributor from the passenger side, wire 1 should be bottom left. wire 3 should be top left. wire 4 should be top right. wire 2 should be bottom right

That is helpful information ?

OP- Is this a recent engine swap, was there any work done to the car prior to this.....or did you walk out one day and it won't start?

Sometimes knowing the events that led up to this help.

At the end of the day....as stated, are you getting spark, are you getting fuel?

It's a brand new ignition coil new spark plus n wires new rotor n cap no oil leaking into distributor. Could it be the starter, brand new alternator, and I'm smelling fuelunder the hood after I try to start it

I'm not sure if that question has ever been answered in full. What you can do is to look at some of your old pens and for the ones that push and lock open and closed you can usually find a spring inside of it. I've used these before lol

If you do find a spring and your car still won't start, can you make a good video showing the spark plug wires and their order just for ***** and giggles.
