All the grounds are hooked back up? The battery and the fuse box wires are hooked up back? The starters wired up? Is there any power in the car (you get noises and lights but it won't turn over)? You need to give a lot more info.

I would doublecheck your distributor wiring if you had to modify it. That would be my first guess.

First check the main relay. You should hear a clicking noise coming from your fuel pump. if you don't, it's your fuel pump. IF it does work, then check to see if you have any spark. If you don't have any spark then that's your problem, it's in the distributor. if you want you can also jump your main relay. I don't have the wiring diagram for your car but it's pretty easy to jump the wires coming from the main relay. See if it starts from there.
