1985 Cavalier won't start after tune up

[blizzardoftheozz]

I was given an 1985 Cavalier not long ago and it was running decent but needed a tune up. It would fire up on one turn of the key but ran a little rough. It had set idle for about 2 weeks before the weather finally got good enough for me to change the plugs, plug wires, rotor and distibutor cap.

After everything was changed out I went to start it but it wouldn't start. Chevked everything out 3x over but still no go. I pulled the #1 plug and put it in the plug wire and turned the car over to see if I had spark...and I did.

Not sure what else to do. Any suggestions would be welcome.

Thanx

Battery/Alternator?

The battery is strong. Car turns over but just won't start.

Change the fuel filter, check your fuel pressure. Fuel pump could be going south
