i know this might sound weird but did you put the wires on the distributor cap in the order that the chiltons tells you? I know on mine they actually go 180 degrees out. i think chiltons says

34
just like that but mine is
43
21
when i did my timing job it took me nearly a day to figure that one out. i had spark and i had fuel but it just wouldn't start. sounds like you're having the same exact problem. i know this is a common problem too because my other 240 is 180 degrees out as well.

my friend whos ase certified told me that I need a whole new distributor hes certified espically on hondas and nissans,
he said something about some kind of sensor in the distributor is shot.
so im getting a new one to see if that does the trick

before you spend the money just try what i said. i'm almost 100% sure this will fix your problems. not to mention that moving the wires is free and will take about 20 seconds of your time and if i'm right it will save you what like 100-150.

dude i'm telling you change your wire order. i promise you that's your problem. basically what's happening is you're getting spark but on the wrong stroke. if you want proof that i'm right just do this. take off your distributor cap and take out your number one spark plug. take a 27mm socket and put it on your crankshaft. put a screwdriver in your number one spark plug hole. turn the socket until the screwdriver is all the way up. this is top dead center. now look at your dizzy rotor. where it is that's where your number one spark plug wire needs to go.
if you want confirmation that the wires can be 180 degrees out i can take a picture of my dizzy and wires and whatnot to show you that it is indeed 180 out.
