I have a Bronco that I have replaced the
Timing chain
Distributor
Coil
Control Module
Plugs
Wires
Cap
Rotor
Carburetor
Fuel Pump
Sending Unit
When putting on the timing chain, lined it up according to the specs. On top dead center it is pointed to number 1. I have fire and fuel will not start. Please Help. Is there anything that I might have missed? I have a manual but it does not help with this.

Did you put No.1 piston on its TDC compression stroke and not on exhaust stroke when you put the timing chain on. You are probably 180deg off.

You got fuel and fire-with correct valve and ignition timing it should be able to fire up. Double check
