Well usually if a car has fuel, spark and compression it will start and thats odd. Check over your vaccum lines again cuz I remember you messin with that. also check your timing make sure you didn't jump a tooth. Take the covers off and line up the crank to TDC then check if the cams are in line. if they are trying loosening the dizzy and turn it all the way one direction then keep turning till it sounds like its gonna start better. Other than timing I don't really know what could be up.

Ohh yeah sorry to metion this but check your firing order. If ya got one crossed taking that one out will make it run because its not holding compression against the piston. Good luck!
