1986 4.9l distributor

1986 4.9l was running rough. Replaced the distributor. Now, it will not start at all. Timing at #1 TDC. Rotor points to #1. Spark on #1, on timing mark. What is the obvious / simple piece to the puzzle that I am missing? Is there some need to set / calibrate the new ICM? Totally frustrated. Thanks for your suggestions.
