Check your timing (cam and ignition) and see if you have compression. Check your grounds too.

Turn your crank to TDC. Take a look at your cam gears and make sure both of them are aligned at TDC.

Maybe check the gruond thats supposed to be attached to the thermoustat housing. I know I left it off one time and the car would not start because of it.
