7.3 wont start

the head gaskets were bad on our 7.3 so i took it apart we had to replace the head on the passenger side it was cracked so we got new injectors and a return line kit i have it all installed i took the injector pump off but did it so the gear stayed in so i didnt get out of time i tried to start it and it wont even hit it just turns over. did i get it out of time somehow? or what else might be wrong with it Thanks Justin

Did you bleed the air out of the injection system?
Are you getting any smoke out of the exhaust?
Did you put the wires on the IP in the correct locations?
