I agree with many above, I think you have a timing issue. you need to set your motor to top-dead-center and find the location of the number one plug on the distributer. Once you have that, then you can set you cap on from the other engine putting the wires in the proper order 153624.

I had the same issue as you did, I checked everything and the engine would turn over but nothing else would happen. I started over setting the engine to TDC on the flywheel re-did the wiring and I am back in business.....
