Did it start before changing the plugs and wires? Are you getting any spark at the coil?

If you disconnected the coil wire ( did the replacement cover that? ) you could have a bad wire so no spark, or it may not be pushed in all the way. When you replaced the wires did u do it one at a time so the firing order didn't get messed up?

Thanx for the responses. I rechecked the firing order, and I was off by 1 on the order. Changed the wiring, and she fired right up! Now if I could only track down the short in the parking lights...seems that whenever I turn on the parking lights, it blows the fuse and cuts out the radio! Any help with that?
