Your distributor is 180* out.

Estimated HP = 0, right now

Let me ask, how are you checking ignition timing?

If it was running before, and the only thing you changed was the aux shaft/dist, then check timing again (even if you've checked it 3 times). Advance ignition timing a little bit. Sometimes if it's set at 0* it won't be enough to start. Also clean/swap plugs (might as well pick up a couple sets..they're cheap)

If you changed other things besides replacing the broken parts, then who knows....

I would also recommend reverting back to a stock ignition system just in case.

So many people screw up the wiring for those things. If it's not set up right it won't fire the coil properly and you stand a chance of not getting spark to certain cylinders.

Also go back to a stock tfi for your year car.

Just in case, swap to a stock cam for the purpose of trying to get the car started. I have no clue if it's too much duration, but get the car back to as stock as possible.

Triple check your timing again and follow chuck dub's info about advancing the distributor a bit and swapping the plugs.
It's impossible for one person to change the world. You change yourself first.

Chad, What are you using/doing to determine the ignition timing. You can put a timing light on it and time it, spout out, by just cranking it. As others have mentioned, I bet the ign timing is just off enough so it won't start. I'll send you some info by email.
