Help! Car won't start now.

Hey, I just changed the spark plugs, wires, rotar, and distributor cap in my '76 Z. After that my car wouldn't fire. SO, I replaced the parts with the originals. Everything. And now it still doesn't fire. Tested for spark, its sparking, labeled the wires before I pulled them, pulled them one by one. Nothing works. Has anyone had this problem before and found a solution? If so please let me know. Thanks.

Even though you labeled the wires make sure you've got your firing order down. 1-5-3-6-2-4. Make 100% sure it's firing in that order. Did you check spark at the coil or the plug? If you didn't check it at a plug, make sure you do that next.

hey man about 2 weeks ago i replaced the fuel injectors and fuel rail in my 83 280zx turbo and i didnt know it but my distributer was installed wrong so my firing order was diffrent try keeping the same firing order but move all the wires around the dizzy clockwise hope that helps

any chance you put the wires on the cap and then put the cap on...backwards?...just a thought.....maybe youre distributor was not tightened down and you accidentally moved it way over......maybe its a separate prob. like fuel...????...good luck
