Not starting after replacing intake gaskets

94 F350 460. Replaced the intake gaskets and now she wont start. We marked the distributor and rotor before removing. It went right back in with everything lined up. We have fuel pressure. Not sure if we should check something else before resetting the distributor. Seem weird that it would be off since it went right in with everything lined up on the marks

Put a timing light on cylinder #1, remove the SPOUT plug, then crank the engine over. If the light flashes verify the timing. If no flashing, troubleshoot no spark.

I have to do a timing cover gasket now. That started leaking after we fixed the intake manifold gaskets. I’m gonna have the timing cover off tomorrow.
