Sounds like it is out of time, check the mark on the crank and number one cylinder and distributor. their is a compression stroke and exhaust stroke so be sure you are one the compression when checking timing.

This condition defines a intake valve is open when the spark plug fires. Look to see if the plug wires is properly connected in the right firing order. If the engine has been disassembled the vale timing could not be set proper. Ignition timing may not be set to the right position.
Timing mark at TDC. Cylinder number 1 on compression stroke.Drop distributor in with rotor facing cylinder number 1 on distributor cap.
ok i have a 1986 jeep cherokee it wont start from the key in side it turns over but dosent fire up an its got (gas an fire) it will start if you pull start it an it has a carb
Need to make sure that you have fire-spark at the plug wire when cranking engine. Then ask your question again I we will answer you, and see if we can help you.
Normally from an engine backfire. The plug fires when the intake valve is partially open which will explode the fuel in the intake and carb.
Two main reasons a car wont start are gas and fire. Is it getting gas to the tbi (carb). Are the plugs getting fire(spark). Track these two down and you will find your problem.
In general: There was a back fire The carb was needing a rebuild and fed fuel to the fire from leaky bowl gaskets or other problems Fix the carb and check the ignition system.

That is a non electronic carburettot isn't it ? If it is not, try taking the air filter off the top of the Carb. and carefully pouring a very small amount (Like an egg cup full) of gasoline into the carb, them try starting it. That might prime it to start. This method has served me very well on many different types of cars that have been left unstarted for a long time.
