Engines need fuel, compression and spark to run. You believe you have fuel so check for spark next. A faulty crank sensor could be one reason you have no spark. If you have spark, have a compression test done. The timing chain/belt may have broken if you have no compression.

What do you do when your car will not start after you replace the distributor?
If the starter is still rotating the crankshaft upon turning the key in the ignition, AND there is a charge from the ignition coil to the distributor, the problem is most likely that 1. The distributor is improperly timed and/or calibrated for the engine in which it is placed, 2. The distributor is the incorrect type for the engine it is attached to, or 3. the mechanical linkages that spin the rotor are defective or incorrectly installed.
An engine cranks slowly when the starter is activated Technician A says the starter circuit should be checked Technician B says the engine timing should be checked Who is correct?
a, the battery condition should be checked first to make sure that its capable of turning over the starter, a weak battery will cause the majority of starter problems, if the battery is fine then its more than likley to be a problem with the actual starter or poor connections on the starter, i have only ever had 1 with a wiring problem, as for the timing out it will not cause slow cranking unless its well out causing piston to valve contact this is only possible if the belt has slipped or it was timed up wrong on refitting a new belt so b is highley unlikley but not impossable. Checking the timing went away with the distributor.

Which way do you turn the distributor on a ford 302 to advance the timing?
Loosen the distributor hold-down bolt. Standing in front of the vehicle looking at the engine turning the distributor clockwise advances the timing. Turning the distributor counter-clockwise is retarding the timing. Hold the distributor steady while tightening the hold-down bolt. Factory hold-down bolt needs a 1/2 inch wrench.

Have you checked for trouble codes in the engine computer? Do you have access to a scan tool? You need a scan tool so you can see if the cam and crank sensors are reading. Are all fuses good? Is the battery full charge? Is there voltage to the distributor? Is the distributor turning?
