My 94 dodge jumped time and i put a new timing chian in and lined all the marks to factory spec but my truck wont start. i have done everything from even moving the plug wires around on distributor and still nothing. im to the point of pulling distributor. was wondering if i need to do this or does the crank sensor need to be reset because i have put new crank sensor and cam posioning sensor and new coil on my truck trying to get it running and nothing has work. can someone help me please

Did you do any voltage testing, before you started replacing parts? Any applicable trouble codes? Did you check for codes before doing anything? Visually check for spark at the plugs, engine cranking, anything? If no spark, check for primary voltage to the coil, engine cranking, Dark green wire with orange tracer.

i have voltage to the coil before changing timing chain i replace crank and cam sensor and truck still wouldnt start so i put socket on crank and watch my rotor and i had play in the chain so i put a new timing chain set in it. with the new parts and with crank at tdc on the powerstroke side of piston i had to turn cam 180 degress to line it up to factory setting from my chilton repair manual and ever since and everythinh i have done and tried to start truck it wont start. im to the point of pulling distributor and resetting everything

i dont have a hand starter to test for spark because its just me i have tested with volt light i have it when i first trun the truck switch on but my volt light dont come back when cranking it and i put a new coil on it

Your kidding, you don't have a relative--friend or neighbor that will crank it for you? The initial prime is one thing, but, you need to check for primary voltage at the coil or check spark, engine cranking. You can't have an rpm signal unless the engine is cranking.

Sounds like it might be 180 out to me.
