Starting Issues

I had my intake manifold off to look at my lifters (long story) and I put everything back together and started it and realized that the rear cork part of the gasket got out of place when I put the intake back on, So I took everything apart again, fixed it, and put it back together.

When I tried starting it, the starter would crank but no fire. Not even one cylinder is firing.

I know it is electrical because it is getting fuel and not the spark plugs because I checked them 4 times.

Any ideas? Input would be much appreciated.

have you check timing, 360/390 and a few other where made with Alumunin top gear, these wear out and cause the timeing to jump.
