Default 1987 Camaro won't start

I have a 1987 Camaro, it has a 305 and its carburated, I replaced the Intake manifold, got the car all back together and now it wont run, I cant get a spark, I have already replaced the ignition coil, and the ignition control module, can anyone help me out?

I think you may have something out of whack, primarily the ignition timing. The distributor could be a whole 180 degrees out as well.
Check out the videos.

so if its 180 degrees off, that will cause no spark?

I think I may have figured out what is wrong, I think its the pick-up in the distributor
