changed distributor, engine won´t start

[TrexMex]

Hi,

I changed my distributor, followed the procedure for setting up cilynder 1 at its TDC, plugged the cables on their firing order (cylinder one corresponds to distributor's plug facing the firewall, and firing order is 1-4-2-5-3-6, right?), and the damn engine won´t start now... I did everything by the book and I ran out of ideas.... If someone could help me on this one I would really appreciate it.

tdc with timing mark at 0?you might be 180 degrees off, on the exhaust stroke.
