is the rotor under the distributor cap pointing at the number 1 spark plug wire?

You can't just line it back up again? Make sure that the cams aren't 180* out. Or you'll be smashin valves left right and center. lol

TOPIC UPDATE

So i'm pretty sure that when i cleaned my valves with wd-40 before i put the head back on i soaked my spark plugs that i did not take out of my head and thats why it wont work. Im going to advance to get some plugs. update soon

ok so i changed my spark plugs and still wouldnt start. as I was double checking all my tubes and plugs i noticed that my vaccuum hose had a huge corrosion hole in it and after taking it off the nipple was extremely clogged with corroded pieces of the old tube so im almost %100 sure that this is my problem because a engine without air will not idle. now i just have to find a replacement hose. Advance auto and pep boys dont have what i need so i think im going to honda in the morning, I can go to the junkyard and get one off a civic but i dont really want a used hose to just give me the same problem later. wish me luck!

Where is the hose coming from?

Sounds like the PCV (positve crankcase ventilation). Be careful not to break the valve which is attached to the IM when you replace the hose.

Hmm, that hose isn't the same on the carbs, but If it's in that position it's a PCV hose.

i don't think a clogged PCV hose would stop it from starting....
Did you check if the timing was dead on again? thats the only thing that moved after you changed the head gasket...
I would redo the timing just to make sure if i where you.......

just my .02.....

yeah got it runnin and no one told me that i needed to redo my head after i blew the gasket so it went right back to smoking because of a warped head. So now im on my way to charleston to get a mpfi d15 and start over with that
