Video of vehicle crank


Hello everyone, this should be my final update of my head gasket, rebuild journey. I have bolted everything up and tucked everything in and went for a crank. Everything cranks, but doesn’t start. I try swapping batteries for one that wasn’t sitting outside a vehicle and had more power to crank still did not start. I also checked the fuel rail to see if I was getting fuel and I am getting fuel if anyone has any ideas, please let me know. I’m looking to check the distributor next.
 
Common issues..
Is the CEL illuminated with the key ON before starting, if not check your fusible links?
The distributor is 180 degrees out and not firing on the compression stroke.

Could I swap out the wires opposite of each other?
