I wouldnt nessicarilyworry about a chip at this point. I am sure that you know the 4 main components to an engine. Compression, air, spark, and fuel. Start with the basic principles of making sure you have each of those and work from there. When I change that much at once I accidentally installed my distributor in 180 degrees out so you may want to make sure it's in the right position.
