Ok let me make this as simple as possible:

Rebuilt motor 5k ago
New plugs (Ngk)
New plug wires (Ngk)
New distributor
New water pump
Motor ran perfect w

Car was in a recent accident. Radiator hit distributor cap and cracked it also crushed the plug. I replaced the whole distributor correctly (TDC). I took each wire that went into the plug and labeled them from top to bottom what wire goes to what pin, I then put new connectors on each pin and connected them individually. I checked all fuses and they are good. I took hoses off fuel rail and turned key gas came out of bottom hose, put them back tried to start car and got nothing. I then took out spark plug #1 put it close to shock tower to check for spark had a friend start it and it fired up, then I had him turn it off. I then put spark plug back in and tried to start turn it on it took a second but started idled around 600-650 if I remember correctly seems like it was about to stall. I let it idle for about 15 seconds and tried to hit has a little and it died out. Now its back to not starting.....

Any ideas. I checked all grounds also.
