Turn it over it backfires every time even on compression stroke cylinder number one will not start. Firing order is correct. It ran before I changed the intake what is wrong with my engine?

If you did not pull the distributor the fuel timing should be okay. If the plug firing order is correct I would double check the injector harness. I would also check the distributor cap for any flaws. Have seen brand new ones with cracks in the.
