sounds like your distributor is not on TDC if your sure you have good strong spark and fuel its usually a timing issue. or firing order
just in case u didnt do this, take #1 plug out put your thumb on the hole, crank engine untill the compression blows your thumb off. look at your balancer make sure your 0 degree mark is aligned with your timing pointer. but double check your firing order before u do too much work.
