Default Replaced opti now wont start

just replaced the opti in my 94z28 myself and reasemebled everything and now the car wont turn over. it cranks but does not turn over, and i can smell gas fumes under the hood so i know its getting fuel. When i replaced the opti it took me a bit but i found the key groove and it slid right in without being forced and it was tight against the timing chain cover. Anyone know what i did wrong? any advice would be nice cause i am really bumed out after all that work that it still doesnt work. Also before i removed the old opti the car would start but not rn right and i got the codes for the hi res and low res failure.

check for spark coming out of the coil and out of the opti.
