Newby and needs help

So I just picked up a 1993 f250 with the 351W. I replaced the ignition switch and it started just fine. I replaced the headlight switch and connector and it started just fine. While I had it apart I decided to check and replace the instrument panel lights. Didn't replace any yet. But after I put it back in the truck cranks just fine but will not fire. No start. Any advise?

thanks

If the tank select switch is currently undone while you have the cluster/instrument bezel open, it won't run.

Did you rep the key cylinder or the switch down the column?

i replaced the key cylinder. I don't have dual tanks but it's got a place to plug it in. So I plugged it in and it started right up! Thanks a million. I really appreciate the help!
