If I do have power and it don't happen at the right time what does that mean? Timing? If so, the timing chain wasn't touched.
sometimes when you disturb old wiring (or when a car has sat for a year or more) parts just go bad.
make sure you have power with the key in the 'run' position, and make sure you have power to that wire when cranking. Sometimes you will not have enough power when you are cranking.
you can also put a timing light on while you are cranking to see if you have spark, and you may have better luck getting the timing close to get it to start.
also make sure your battery is charge up real good. I have had many issues solved by just charging the battery.
