2.8 back together but no fire

I got the intake leak all fixed up, got all of the valves adjusted, made darn sure that when #1 was on top that the rotor pointed to #1 wire, I rolled the motor over with the coil wire off to circulate the new oil to flush some contaminates, the coil arced from the post to the intake so I'm sure that I had spark (then I pulled the coil input wires). Once I changed the oil and put the coil wires on, it sounded like it coughed up through the intake maybe once. I can hear the fuel pump coming on, but does it take some time to fill the fuel rail again? Everything looks right but no fire, any suggestions from you guys who have done these 2.8s before?

Hey I have an 87 2.8 L and I've an engine swap so I know that these engines can be frustrating. Well if its fuel injected you sould be able to check the fuel pressure at the fuel block asembly (located on the back of your fuel rail, and should have the presure cap on it if its like my 87) and if it has fuel presure I would think that maybe the injector wires got crossed. But not competely sure. hope I could help a little.

Unless you changed it, the fuel pump will run for a little while, and if the engine does not start and bring up oil pressure, the fuel pump shuts down. Make sure you have the plug wires in the proper order.
