86 302 won't start

I have an 1986 F150 4x4 302 fi with an auto. trans. The truck ran great until I replaced the valve cover gaskets. Of course replacing the valve cover gaskets is a chore in itself, but what could I have messed up? The engine ran fine, now it won't even kick, it does turn over. Please help me.

Did you disconnect the sensor harness when you pulled the upper intake off? Re-check all your connections.

Do you have spark? pull one of the plugs throw a screwdriver in the boot and hold it near the block and if you see fire, Do you smell raw fuel?

If you do smell raw fuel, please don't try the spark thing.
