I replaced the cam, head and timing chain. New spark plugs. I set the timming using the chain and sproket markings and the distibuter seems to be in th right spot. Still it wont fire?

Put the #1 cylinder in TDC, check and see that the rotor is pointing at the #1 spark plug wire, if not it has jumped time.
