What are you missing?? From the way you descripe your problem it sounds like you have either miss timed the motor, or dropped the dizzy in and missed the timing that way. If the engine ran before and you have done only the things you mention it will run again. Don't "ASSUME" the dizzy is correct. Check it! Dont "ASSUME" it has the correct firing order. Check it! If you have already checked those things and it seems correct- Do it again. the problem is in the timing some way some how, I just bet.
