won't fire!
i have fuel...i have spark...but the engine just turns over, no firing of any kind, not even a pop.
I just got some headwork done and took the whole engine out to clean it up a little bit and remove some of the emissions things (EGR, etc...). now its back in all together...but nothin. any ideas?

I doubt you will be able to time it when its not running. Check your timing belt or whatever the car uses. There should be procedures in your haynes/FSM manual for setting the distributor or CAS or whatever your car uses to its proper position. How do you know you have fuel?

you are so new. headwork? ?why???
anyways, if this is SR, make sure your orange start wire is connected, your wiring to the ECCS relay is correct ( yes, you can have power to injectors and still have bad wiring to eccs relay)
make sure your cas is installed correctly and your @ tdc for #1 cylinder (sparking #1 and not 4)
make sure fuel pump is coming on, and make sure your plugs are not fuel fouled up.
if you dont have an FSM in front of you (even S14 AUS) then your going to be hunting and guessing

ahhhh... KA why didnt you say so in the first place?
timing is hell on KA, mostly because inserting the distributor is such a subjective process (eyeball 0 degrees and stick it in) really a bad way to set timing imo, the pin on the front cover is like totally in a bad spot.
anyways, make sure your at TDC for #1 cylinder an insert the distributor a hair advanced (seems to work best that way when finding timing) should fire up.. then pull it out and turn it one tooth back at a time till your running with the distributor in the center of its adjustment. (carefully take it out and bring it back )
sounds crazy but it works and saves time.
