Question 1991 wont start..motor from 1985 no spark HELP

Just got a truck, i drove it home and pulled it in the garage. changed all the spark plugs and wires one at a time, and degreased the engine. now it wont start. the distributor isnt wet, i went to advance auto and had the ignition control module tested. it has an accel super coil on it. no idea how many wires or how to test to see if its getting power. any ideas?

Wires crossed?

Got good spark to all plugs?

Got fuel pressure?

Can you hear fuel pump run on key on 2 second prime up?

Got fuel pressure?

Engine cranking good?

What dist and carb does it have?

Any spark at coil?

Is dist turning when cranking?

Did you knock off any wires.
