No Performance add ons

Removed and replaced both gaskets on both upper and lower manifolds. Put everything back together and now it wont start. Engine turns and sounds as if wants to start but Nothing.:dunno: Double and triple checked the spark plug wires. Friends suggested turning distributor 180 and replacing Crankshaft Position Sensor and still nothing. Also checked the coil pack and Ignition control module.:1zhelp: All suggestions welcomed.
