Question Bigger injectors....what else?

So we are at the end of our rebuild on my '91 LX, or so we thought. And the moment of truth came to fire up the pony and it would turn but not crank. It's bored over 30, cammed, 24lb injectors....are there other things that these mods may affect? The fuel lines are getting fuel, but when we took the plugs out they weren't getting fuel on them. So I'm trying to figure out if maybe its the injectors, the fuel pump, or what. First build....HELP!

Default

it would turn, but not crank... Do you even know what a "no crank" symptom means? It means when you turn the key, the engine does NOTHING.

I'm assuming you have a "cranks, no start" problem. In which case you need to check the basics. Fuel, Air, Spark.

Do you have ~40psi fuel pressure?
Are the injectors firing?
DO you have spark?
Is your distributor set correctly (i.e. cyl 1 to TDC when installed)
Do you have good compression?
