Default Help with BBK SSI intake

I have the intake all installed, I'm pretty sure I have all the hoses installed, but the car won't start. I think it's my timing, it's cranking over but not firing, and I know fuel is being supplied. I was wondering if anyone has any ideas or if someone has pictures of the setup or stock pictures of the engine compartment to see if I have the hoses all connected. Thank you.

you most likely have the distributor incorrectly installed

check to see if your 180 degrees out on your distributer. tdc is left front cylinder up all the way then drop in the distributer. if that doesn't work like i said before try 180 degree difference. i too have a ssi and found out the hard way.
