Need some serious help!
Ok guys, I just replaced my hydraulic lifters after one went bad, and now my car wont start! I've checked everything, valve adj, timing, spark and fuel. It cranks but doesn't want to turn over. I have F.A.ST efi, MSD 6a, MSD dis, MSD Blaster coil. Any ideas on why this is happening?

Have you verified fuel, air, and spark?

Yea, I did all of the trouble shooting test on he MSD site, checked the fuel rails for fuel. I'm getting voltage at the injector,but for some reason i think the injector not firing. When I pull the spark plug it still looks brand new!

A short splash of fuel or carb cleaner into the intake should cause it to try to start if you are lacking fuel.
How did you adjust the lifters, one turn down from zero lash?David Pozzi http://www.pozziracing.com67 Camaro RS that will be faster than anything Mary owns.

Can you hear the fuel pump come on when you turn the key to run? If so it's not a fueling issue.
Did you touch the crank trigger at all? If for some reason you don't hear the fuel pump come on, check the crank trigger. W/O that the fuel pump will not continue to run after the initial pressure cycle.
Did you move the dist at all? pull any plug wires?

Yes the fuel pump comes on when I turn the key on, actually I've done it with the fuel line off before.
I moved the dist and it kicked back and bent the pushrods on the #1 cyl, but I replaced them already.
If you're asking me if I pulled a plug to if there's any spark then yes.

Sounds like your timing is WAY off. I would line up the engine at TDC on the #1 cylinder again and go through the distributor install process.
