Question 92 base dakota 2.5L cranks wont start

Hey all,

Just replaced the engine in my truck. New plugs, wires, rotor and distributor cap. Ran fine before the block cracked. Now the truck cranks like a champion but will not start. Fuel is getting to the carb. anything I should check?

Thanks!
Rob

Check spark.

Check timing (verifying that Cylinder 1 on the distributor is indeed connected to the spark plug in Cylinder 1, not its mate).

Spray a bit of fuel into the carb (or some starting fluid), make sure it's not that the carb is failed and not passing any gas.
